Today is the day, the day that all my hard work finally has paid off. As soon as I walk through that door there is no turning back. I have to see this all the way through.

E - "STOP!! You are not starting at the right spot. You need to start at the beginning four years before in 2019."

 N - "Ok ok I will start your story there from the beginning but you can not do that again you are the character and I am the author."

E - "Ok I wont do it but just tell my story right."

N - "Fine lets go to the beginning."

Hi my name is Ellie Jones, I am a senior in high school. I play four sports and they are soccer, golf, basketball, and I sail. The sport that I love the most out of all of them is soccer; I have been playing for such a long time and I still love the game, but I am starting to think that I might not like the sport for much longer. I'm just not seeing much of the fun in it and I think soccer in college will be the last times that I will be playing.

"RING"

Well there goes the bell off to my last class of the day gym class.

T - "Ellie wait up for me! You walk way to fast."

E - "Sorry Talia, my head has been all over the place."

T - "Well let me guess, it's about soccer and that list of soccer players that are playing in a game?"

E - "Yes it's that. I'm just wondering who will get the call and who would not. I mean, there are a lot of injured players this year."

T - "What would you do if you get a call?"

E - " I would never get a call for one."

T - "Why not? You are the best player in the state, AND you have lead your club and school to great things these past two years."

E - "I am not that good, but to answer your question I would not know; I mean, don't get me wrong, I would want to go to college first and have a back up plan if soccer fell through. Besides, I don't know how much longer I will keep playing. It's not as fun as it use to be."

T - " I get that, but I think when you go to college you might get that love back for it, but you could always drop in college if you still don't love it."

E - "You're right..."

T - "Girl...I am always right"

E - "Haha very funny. Now lets get to gym."

E - "Mom I am home!!"

M - "Hey sunshine you have someone that keeps calling me. Are you expecting a call?"

E - "No I am not. Did you get a name?"

M - "Yes. She said her name is Jill Ellis and would only talk to you about something."

E - "..." " did you just say Jill Ellis?! As in the US coach Jill Ellis?!"

M - "Oh thats who is calling you? i thought that name sounded familiar."

E - "Ok I am going to take the call in my room."

M - "Ok let me know what is happening."

E - "Ok, will do."

Upstairs in my room there are all sorts of soccer posters. I have one of Tobin Heath, Alex Morgan, and Christen Press. I really want one of Alyssa Near, but I have not found one yet.
