Free Blog...

This is officially my last blog post for the semester, and since I have not used my free blog I thought it would be convenient to do so now. Over this semester, I have enjoyed english class a lot, a statement I thought I would never say myself for I have never liked english classes. I did not appreciate reading and writing in the past, maybe because english is not my primary language. But now, it doesn't feel as bad. I think mrs. Stoklosa did a good job implementing fun activities that made us learn and have a good time altogether.

But liking reading and writing were not the only things I learned over the course of the class. Almost everyday real life situations were broght in play, and we really had to think and make descisions on our own. I feel like I learned some life lessons, and I know a little bit more about society than I did before. I also feel a little more prepared to face life now, even though I still have a lot to learn. Another great thing that I learned was test stuff. I mean like SAT and FCAT stuff. I feel better prepared with the tips that I learned and I will use them when taking these tests.

Soccer in America

As the last week of blogging is here, I wanted to sum up the purpose of my blog. In the last couple of decades, soccer has been growing more and more on America. It is obviously not at the popularity level that other sports like football, baseball, and hockey are, but it is growing. People in the U.S. now actually now when the world cup is and they might even watch a couple of games. Over the years, great soccer players have tried to bring the popular game to U.S., players like Pele, Beckham and Valderrama, who are among the world's greatest ever, come to U.S. to play and try and popularize the sport. Through my blog I try to do some of the same, try to bring soccer news to my peers so that they will be informed and maybe even start liking the sport. The U.S. system for youth soccer is great, and has currently much of the worlds best 14-16 year olds. Although most of these kids are not American, they will probably obtain American citizenship and will some day maybe play for the U.S. team. Who knows, maybe in the future the U.S. team will be one of the best teams...
