Impacted Person
“I hate it when people give up, it’s just a reason for people not to try”, stated that one young, strong person that sure impacted my life. People sometimes complain about their daily problems without thinking that others may have it worse than them. This little boy that didn’t really matter to him how many months, days or maybe even weeks he had yet to live he was still as strong as a rock in the middle of a storm.

There was something about my cousin that was way different from the rest of the other patients that were his age; he tried his best not to give up. he was so into soccer that his dream was to become a professional soccer player, and every time he would turn on the TV a soccer game would be and a stream of tears would roll down his pale chubby cheeks, he knew he wasn’t going to make it but that didn’t stop him from having that illusion of becoming a soccer player. He’s the person I give the props to since he was the one that introduced soccer to me, he thought me how to play it, I guess that’s the reason I play it or maybe the reason why it’s the only sport that catches my attention because it keeps me closer to him than anything else in this world, and whenever I score i feel that great
