Decisions

A long time ago when I was in Mexico, my life was very different from the one I have today in this new country, but I will start from the beginning where everything started, I have a dream from very early on boy and until then I still have the same desire and the same desire to fulfill it, that dream is to become a professional soccer player for that I knew I had to train very hard and never stop dreaming.

Since I was very young (6 years old) this started, thanks to my dad who always went to see him at his games and we always went to the stadiums to watch the games. Like my brother who was always excited to see him play each of his games, it was then that he started my own way, I started in a team called cruzeiro, I was excited and eager to start training, during that time I learned too much from what football was

My first game was a bit unpleasant experience like all the first few times, but that did not stop me and I continued training, after a couple of games I understood the game perfectly and I already had many more skills, after all that process I had a opportunity, in a match that was disputing I realized that a couple of people were watching me to take me to a much more important team and that was it, at the end of the game they talked to me to see if I was interested in going to their club, which of course I answered yes, to enter there with only 10 years I realized that many people do not tolerate the fact that you are better than them, that was a great new experience in my life in football, my own teammates team tried to injure me every training or psychologically attack me so that I would not progress and leave the team.

Thanks to my effort and that I never get carried away by the criticisms, I came to a semi-professional team which obviously was a much higher level than what I had played before, the atmosphere as well as in the trainings were really different but luckily I was able to adapt quickly.

During my trip I traveled to many cities of Mexico to participate in tournaments, it was a very big experience for me, until one day ... I had to make a big decision in my life, when finishing the tournament after returning from a small week of rest they made me an offer which was to buy my letter (belong completely to the team). In context, I was afraid because there were rumors that in the teams of my country when they take your card completely you do not have the right to make your own decisions like not being able to choose which team to go and they put the price they wanted. At that moment I really got frozen, I had an idea to say about it, so I asked them for more time to make my decision and so they gave me only 3 days to make my decision, quickly call my father (he was currently in United States) and he gave me an option which would change my life completely, he proposed me to go live with him, I did not know what to say really I did not know what to do, I could not sleep I had very little time to decide, but when I arrived the day…. I made the decision, the decision to take new experiences, new challenges and I went with him.

When I first arrived, obviously it was not easy, the school was much more complicated because of the language and I did not know anything about my main objective, which was to join the football team, but a couple of weeks later I had a bit of luck and I met great people and friends who spoke a bit of Spanish and helped me in all classes as well as helped me to enter the training of the school, do not hesitate a second to enter, I only had a month to prepare for the real tests When the tests arrived I obviously felt very happy but at the same time nervous, the tests lasted 2 days in which they only tried to play a football game. Thanks to my experience I was the only one new to be accepted in the team, it was and still is a great experience to go to different schools to compete, in different places of the country.

I currently have a year living here. I continued to look for my dream as I prepare in school which was my main objective here.

I really do not regret anything I have built a new life here and progressing as a person and professional to be able to fulfill my dreams.
