I think that soccer is amazingly fun because there are lots of fun games that my friends and I get to play. I get to play with other teams not just my team. I get to travel. Traveling is fun because I get to go to Salt Lake City, Utah and Casper, Wyoming and other places. But the games aren't the only fun part of soccer.
It is fun at practice,too, because I get to play a soccer games against the coaches. If we lose, we have to do 10 crunches. If we win, we get to tell the coaches what we want them to do. Our favorite thing is to make them do butt letters. (It's funny, trust me.)
The best game ever happened when we were playing a game at Salt Lake City. It was two hours long. There were 50 minutes left in the first quarter. We had scored 2 goals and the other team had scored 3 goals. The ref blew the whistle and both teams went to the bench. My team was losing. My coach said, "Okay guys, if you work together, you can score and win."
"OK!" we cheered. "Let's do it!"
Our break was over, and we started playing. We played better than the first quarter. We played for a long time. Then we were down to the last 15 minutes.
I passed the ball to my friend, Juan and he shot. We scored. We were so happy that we stared to sprint all around the field. We ran and celebrated until the ref told us to start the game again. We were tied, and the ref blew the whistle and we started to play. We played until there only 5 minutes left. I had the ball and when I was about to shoot, I got tripped and the ref said it was a penalty. I put the ball on the line then I got ready. The ref blew the whistle and I started to run toward the ball. I shot it extremely hard.
"Goal!!!" screamed my coach. We were all excited! My team got the big gallon of water and poured it on my coach. Then the ref blow the whistle and called it a game.
It was really fun. We got a trophy and some metals. That was the best game I have ever played!!

Soccer Game ~by Jonathan
Soccer is amazing because it is my favorite sport.
Getting ready for the game is exciting. As I am running onto the field, the people are screaming, "Come on! Do not give up!!" When the game began, we stared at the ball, and the people start cheering.
At half-time, we were losing by one goal. The crowd was sad and losing interest. I said to my other teammate, "Pass it to me so I can make a goal." They agree.
As I am running down the field, Danny kicked it to me. I hit it with my head. The ball flew through the air, toward the goal. Everybody stood up. The ball continued toward the goal. It went past the goalie. I made the goal! I made it! All the people on the sidelines screamed, "Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!" My coach give me a big pat on the back, and all my teammates were happy.
Unfortunately, the other team made a goal. My coach said, "Come on! You can do it! One more goal!!" The score was 2-1, and there were just 15 minutes left.
We threw the balled in and I passed it to my friend. He missed and I said to him, "Nice try." When he got the ball back, he passed it to me. I did a back kick and the goalie did not stop the ball - again.
The crowd charged in. Danny, Juan, and I were the best on our team! We felt proud.
Danny, Juan, and I have practiced so much together that we play well together. Practice really does pay off. It allowed us to score many goals during games because we knew what the other person would do. We trusted each other!
My team was cheering and my coach said, "Great job, guys!" He promised that if we won, he would throw a party! My team lifted me up on their shoulders, and Juan said, "Nice job, Jonathan!" Soccer is amazing. It is my favorite sport!

Immigration Stories ~by Isa
Coming to America.
The day that my family decided to move to Jackson, I was really happy. I had never been to Jackson, Wy. My mom promised, "Jackson is really cool. You will like Jackson a lot." I do. I have friends here, and I have good teachers and good classes. We flew in a plane to the border and then the adventure would begin.
In order to cross the border, we had to cross the desert. It was scary. In the desert, it is very hot. One Coyote ran my family and me over the border. He was not an animal. El Coyote was a man who helped pass my family and me into the United States. The desert is really hot and has dangerous animals like snakes. If you have food and water, you will be OK, but if you run out you are in trouble. During the day, the desert sometimes is so hot, but at night it is so cold. The desert is really dangerous.
We were lucky, we made it through. I kept thinking about snow. I kept saying to myself, "Be a good BIG sister. Be strong. Stay with my family!" It helped me keep going.
When we arrived in Jackson, I was so happy. I was happy because I was with my new family, here in Jackson WY. I was worried because many Mexicans are in the jail. But my family is not. I'm lucky; I like my new family very much. My mom said, "I told you that Jackson is really cool."
I said, "It is. I like school."
She said, "Good!" She is happy because I am learning English fast. It is so important to go to school. She wants my brothers and me to have good opportunities in life. We all know that school will help us get those opportunities.
There is a lot to learn here in Jackson, but it's my home. Home is where FAMILY is! I so happy because I have my family and I have my family and my beautiful home!
