His passion for soccer has never been a secrete. Ethan Grey has always aspired to do what he loves for a living... to play football. But with a troubled background, he knows that he has to keep his head up and move on from the struggles he finds him...
I walk in the door as I prepare for my shift at one of the busiest restaurants in Spain. Moving from America to Spain was not an easy adjustment but it had to be made. That's a story for another time.
You see, I have a dream... a dream to one day become the greatest footballer in the world. I couldn't care less about the fame that comes with being a soccer player. I want to be more than a famous name, I want to be remembered for my passion.
"Get to work Grey, day dreaming isn't going to get the cash coming in!" Yells Owen. That's my boss, my angry, always yelling for no reason, power hungry boss. I swear I have never seen the man smile...he never has a good day. "Of course Boss!" I answer to his command.
The busy morning passes quickly as customers come in and out.
Buzz...Buzz...Buzz
My phone vibrates in my pocket. I take it out to look who's calling. I roll my eyes... it was my sister, she clearly knows I'm at work. Why the heck is she calling?
"What do you want? I'm at work" I ask as I answer the phone. "Hey bro, I need money to catch a cab after my class" She responds. " Don't try your luck Olivia, I gave you enough cash for transport" I tell her. "I used it for lunch, me and my girls went out and I had to spend some money" Olivia explains "No one asked you to make rich Friends dude!" I respond irritated by her."I'll pick you up after my shift" I tell her. "Are you kidding me, you only knock off at like 17:00" she replies. "Yep! see you in two hours" I tell her as I hang up

3rd person's point of view
Ethan's shift comes to an end and he's excited as anything, because he gets to do his favourite thing after playing soccer, which is coaching soccer. Every day from 17:00 to 17:45 he coaches kids around his block a few soccer skills and principles. The kids were waiting impatiently for him.
"Look coach is here" yells one of the kids.
Ethan Grey's point of view
"Sorry I'm late guys... I had to quickly drop off my sister " I explain to the boys and girls. We go through some stretching and we finally jump right off into a match. I could see a lot of progression in the kids, I could tell that these sessions ment alot to them and how they appreciated soccer. I believed in them, I know we have a future legend in all of these kids. And looking at the excitement in their eyes made me happy to see these little guys and girls so passionate about soccer

It was time to head home, and let's just say I'm not looking foward to the drama. I knew I had to look past it and keep on Moving.
