Well, this is it. The end of what we seniors have been working on for nearly 15 years. Our soccer careers started as 3 ½ foot little girls wearing soccer ball scrunchies in our hair, playing herd ball in our size 13 shoes. It was a social event – a time we could play with our friends and eat hot dogs and candy after the game. Our goal was to win one thing- a light up soccer trophy engraved with our name. It is funny to see how something so innocent turns into a life long career. Things have definitely changed since the herd ball days. We now stand over 5 feet tall wearing thick fabric headbands in our hair playing an exquisite game in our size 8 shoes (size 4 for some of us – Kaitlyn). It is weird to think that this childhood hobby has shaped who we are today. We have expanded our goals to bigger and better things and have been working all summer to prepare for the journey. Our goal now is far more daring than a small engraved trophy. It is a team aspiration – to win a national championship. I cannot wait to begin my final season surrounded by some of the most dedicated, hard-working and funny people. Let the ride begin!
