Soccer Can Really Affect Your Health

                                              Soccer Can Really Affect Your Health 
                                                               By, Brenda Villa

Time ticking on the clock. You’re on the field and you’re about to score. Suddenly you feel a pain. You ignore it, until the pain comes stronger, you lost your chance of a goal. You get out but you want to keep playing. Then a couple of minutes later you have just realized you’re injured. Your coach helps you out but you know you want to keep playing. Although, sometimes it might take days, weeks, months, possibly even years to recover. These small injuries can really affect the health of a soccer athlete.
                                                                                 
Soccer is one of the most common sport played indoor and outdoor. Sometimes an athlete can get injured by playing a sport they love. Such as soccer. The most common injuries while playing soccer might be grain pulls, tighs, calf muscle strains. Shin splints which is soreness in the calf. Patellar tendinitis pain in the knee and achilles tendinitis which is pain in the back of the ankle. These injuries can affect the soccer played health in many ways.

According to what the person said, “If you get hit in the head with a soccer ball it can mess up your cognitive function.” This other person also said, “You being hurt in a game could hurt you physically, but also mentally because you are scared of being hurt again.” This is very true, because soccer is a sport where you can use your head to hit the ball. This can really affect a soccer player health because basically a cognitive function is cerebral activities including memory, attention, language, and knowledge.

Also about 52.6% of the people have said that they have gotten injured in soccer and any sport in general.

We can fix this problem by making the sport soccer more safer. About 42.1% of the people said that soccer should be a more safer sport. Which is not the majority. Although we can make soccer a safer sport by changing the way the rules. Instead of 2v1 we can make it where only 1v1 so people can get injured by taking the ball away by two people at the same time. RIsking you to get hit in the leg and leading to a knee, ankle, or any other problem.

We can wear more protective gear. About 47.4% of people said that we need more gear to protect ourself more. Which is good because this can help us not get injured and keep our health good and healthy. So we can change a lot of things to make the soccer sport more enjoyable and safe.

Best Gift Ever!?

I recall that the best gift ever I've gotten was when I was 11 and out of no where my dad gives me this small box I stated to analyze the box by shaking it and trying to hear what was inside.Little did I know it was a phone, at first I though he was joking with me. Then I opened the box and there was a phone. I still took long to comprehend why he had bought me a phone. But then he told me I would need it just in case for any emergency. After that I still couldn't believe he bought me a phone out of no where. This gift was I think one of the best gifts I ever gotten because it changed my life because it was huge deal for me because of the responsibility to have a phone. Although I used it a lot, as to this day and I sort of think I can't live without my phone in my had.

Favorite Quote

My favorite quote would be "Anythings possible, you gotta dream like you never seen obstacles"- J Cole. This quote means to me that you could do anything and everything is possible if you don't procrastinate or stop you from doing that. So you have to dream like if there's was no obstacles from stopping you to do that. I like this quote because is has such a great meaning. Also because this quote is so true in life. Anything is possible if you just try your best and not let any obstacles that run through, stop you from doing what your trying to accomplish.

The Meaning Behind My Name.....?

My name is Brenda I don't really know what it means but I searched it up. I comes from a Scottish word meaning sword. What I think it means by sword is strong, confident, pushes people that don't mean to much or have hurt them and keeps going. My name was given to me by my parents. I wasn't really named after anyone of my family members I just happen to be named Brenda. My mom picked it because she thought it was a pretty name and it fit me. I can't really see myself being named something different because that's basically not me. I love my name because it fits me and my personality and wouldn't want to change it. Although my last name comes from my Dad side of the family.

What I'm Grateful For

This year 2016 thanksgiving, im grateful for many things, but here are the ones that are more important to me,from this year and years past. I'm grateful for still being a live till this day. I'm grateful just in general for the family I have. If I didn't have my family I wouldn't have known what to do, they help me throughout my life and experiences and I'm grateful to have people who care so much about me. I'm grateful for all the things I have, a house I could live in, food at the table, clothes and other things that some other people might not have. I'm grateful to have all my art supplies that I always wish to have and had. I'm grateful for all those things and many more but these are my main ones and important ones.

Election Reflection

My thoughts on this election in general are that this year election might be a historical event. This was huge deal with people's opinions and perspectives on how they feel about who won. My thoughts against the election this year is that I didn't really want either of them to win but I would like Clinton to win than Trump. I'm not really that into politics. In 4 years form now some of us will be voting and    I'm not sure if I am but am I exited. Depends on who is running for the election or if I can vote.

I think that some issues or interesting things relating to the election are the how some people worry about Trump winning the election. From all the things he had said in his speeches and debates. Some interesting things are how some people had different opinions about each candidate. Some like Trump some people hated Trump cause of the things he said and being racist. On the other hand some people  liked Clinton and thought she was gonna win.

Best Day Ever

The best day ever was when me and my family went to Wisconsin with some family friends. I remember when me and my brother were in the car waiting to get to the hotel we were gonna stay at. When we got there we got all exited to see our room and finally rest from the long car ride which was like three hours. The next day we ate breakfast than later day me and my friends went to the pool to take a swim. tye day after that we went to a water park named Raging Waves. It was fun I had a good time with my friends and family. Although the next day we had to leave but it was fun  to go to Wisconsin.

Graffiti in Schools

Have you seen colorful signs or letters on walls meaning something? Would it be bad or good? Students have been doing graffiti in the bathrooms writing disrespectful things about others or just in general. This is a problem because it happens any day. Some graffiti might be cool like the ones in the streets that are creative or have a meaning to something. Although the ones in the school are different they might have like rumors about someone or inappropriate words.

This is a problem because the people who work at the school have to clean up what the students did even if they didn't do it. In many school teachers principals get informed about graffiti in the bathrooms. This is just hurting our school the environment. It's makes people see us as a bad example if our school have graffiti on the walls. Also it takes time to clean up and we're basically writing in something that doesn't belong to us but the school. We should think more about the school environment.

The Outsiders

What I learned from the character Johnny is that his past is pretty depressing. Johnny would get beat up by his dad and his mom never really listened to him. He had gotten beaten up by the Soc. He had also killed a Soc while trying to save Ponyboy. Johnny had changed after he killed the Soc and saved the kids from the burning church. He knew that he died in good way because he saved the little kids lives that were more important because they had so much more to live for. What I liked the most about this character is that he was a great person even though he had a rough life and always looked out for other people. What I liked the least about this character is that he had to die around the end.

I think that the best song that represents the character Johnny is a song called "Tell me why" by, Three Days Grace. I think that this song represents Johnny and his situation so well. In the song it talks about how life is good at some point by then everything turns around and it's just bad again and you don't know why. It can relate to Johnny's life because he killed a Soc trying to save Ponyboy, then saved little kids from a burning church which was brave of him. Although the outcome was bad he was in a really bad condition and well soon he died. Just like the song "it goes from good to bad and worst so fast."

Going Back To the Past

One of my favorite childhood memories was when me and my brother used to always play video games, watch shows, and youtube videos. I remembered when my brother got his first computer and we started watching a lot of youtube videos and ourt favorite shows. That would always crack us up or sometimes. I also remember when I was 8 me and my brother would play our favorite game Black Ops II. We would always play zombies on it. I remember that we would always be laughing, yelling at each other, blaming each other but in the end it was all just a game and for fun.

The Plot Twist Book

The book Beastkeeper by, Cat Hellisen is about a girl named Sarah she has always moved to different places. Her parents had left her, trying to escape form a curse. Sarah was left with her grandparents, later she had been kicked out for letting her grandfather out of his cage. Sarah stayed with her magical friend Alan, although soon enough she turned into a beast. Sarah tried to find a way to break the curse, she soon finds out her grandmother could break the curse but she doesn't want to. Six years pass her grandmother finally makes a decision, she passes her magic to Alan and she dies.

I think that theme of the story Beastkeeper by, Cat Hellison is that nothing is impossible, you can always find a solution no matter what it takes. In the story Sarah the main character was told about the curse that runs in her family. Ever since she found out she tries her hardest to find a way to break the curse from her family. She had never really given up on finding a way to break it even though she had turned into a beast. Sarah then finds out that her grandmother could break the curse but will cost her death. Six years past and her grandmother decides to break the curse, she dies and gives the power to Alan. Then Sarah turns back into a human and the curse is now gone.

The author wrote, "We have to stop it," Sarah said. "We have to find my mother and make her go back to him--"(page 98) This shows that Sarah had hopes of bringing her parents back together so she can fix it and stop the curse. As the story goes on Sarah never really stopped trying to find a way on breaking the curse. The story in general has thought me that nothing is impossible you can always find a way if you don't stop trying, even if you have to go through a lot to find a solution.

Where I Dream To Go One Day

The trip I want to take is to the United Kingdom. I always wanted to go there because it's so much more different than the U.S. I want to explore new things like try new foods, candy, buildings, and how it's different compared to what we have in the U.S. Also see how the money is like there.Another reason I want to go there is to see London and walk around. I also want to take a look at the Big Ben and ride the London eye. I learned this place by the bands I listen to and just looking into places in Europe.

In 10 years

One of my biggest goals in life is to be happy no matter what I'm doing. To enjoy life up to its fullest. To be successful in life. Another one of my goals is to become a better soccer player, learn some tricks and moves. Some of my aspirations in life are to be greatfull of what I have in life. Also, to push myself forward and not up on my dreams.

Where I see myself in 10 years is having a job I'm passionate about like being an artist or a graphic designer. I always wanted to have this job because art in general is my passion. I love to be creative and to inspire people that nothing you love is impossible. Also I see myself working hard and have enough money so my parents won't have to work anymore. So I could help them with anything they need. I also see myself buying a house and having my own art room that I always wanted. I hope to have enough to money as well that way I can't travel across the world and to have an adventure. Also to explore and enjoy life.
