I had no idea this little soccer dream would take me here
when I started
my goal was simple
just make the next team
I started playing soccer
around three years old
and it quickly became
my entire life
but I never could have
imagined the places
that it would take me
I played youth soccer
and eventually
accomplished my dream
I actually
make it beyond that goal
but I got an opportunity
to play professionally
my pro journey involved
multiple road trips
across the country
to play in Orlando and LA
but looking back my
favorite part of my journey
soccer took me
it was who it
teammates from
different backgrounds
fans from different cultures
have never met
if I hadn't fallen in love
with this game
and that's why moments like
the FIFA World Cup
for a few weeks
the entire world
is connected by one game
soccer gave me
wasn't a professional contract
it was a connection to people,
places and experiences I
places and experiences I
found otherwise
