Star Athlete
My name is Edward, and at one time I was the star athlete at my school for four consecutive (连续的) years. Soccer was my life for as 1as I could remember. For at 2six times a week, you could find me at the fields training. Within those past four years, I had3sixty goals for my team. I even starred in our local newspaper.
Most athletes asked me how I did it. How I 4to go out once or twice a day to train. Most athletes would be5out, but not me. I asked them how they just naturally breathed. Football had been my life ever since I was five years old. Having two parents that played the game6me to become the best athlete I could ever be. My whole family played; not7was like not eating at my grandma's house, not acceptable. When I was three, my parents taught me how to kick the ball, and that was when I8fell in love with the game.
But that was past. When I was working up to the state championship, I got injured and the trainer told me I could never play again. I cried and my 9was torn into pieces. Later, I10myself back up and went to Vanderbilt University on an academic scholarship. I might not be a super star, but I11to let my life slip out of my hands. Now, I'm on my way to becoming a doctor to help12like me. Sometimes I wonder who I would be without my injury, but then I realize I would not have had this opportunity. Things change13, and you have to learn to 14it. Stop living in the past and live in the future. Everyone has a story, but you have to make your own ending. It's up to you to persevere and fight for yourself. Be your own 15.
