Everyone has that one thing that has always been able to calm them down. For me, it has always been playing soccer. I have been playing soccer since I was about 4 years old and now 14 years later I am still playing and I still have a great love for the game. Even though it is the one thing that can drive me crazy, it is always the one thing that keeps me sane. Playing soccer is always there for me, it is a place for me to enjoy myself and forget about anything else.
The competitiveness of the game takes over my being and for over 90 minutes all I have to focus on is soccer. It gives me a break from whatever else is going on in my life and even if soccer is frustrating I am always happy that I just get to play.
This picture I took while sitting on the hill by my dorm room one of the first days I came to Eastern. My roommate and I were relaxing in the shade talking about how excited we were for the season to start. The beautiful turf fields of Eastern University are a place for me to escape too, especially for the next 4 years.
