Soccer Chick
She spends more time with a soccer ball on her foot than she does with a phone on her hand. Her Saturday nights are spent on the field beneath the lights, rather than at a friends house. Her favorite pair of high heel are her soccer cleats. She want to be the one to be able to "bend it like Beckham." Most girls her age prefer bikini tans. Her? No. She loves her soccer tan, where her knees are burnt along with her face, neck, and from her shoulders down. Her best dress has a grass stain on it, mainly because it is her soccer jersey. Her undergarments don't consist of push-up bras and thongs, but sports bras and spandex instead. Her dream guy isn't Taylor Lautner but rather Wayne Rooney. She loves the pain of sweat in her eyes and the taste of blood in her mouth. This girl doesn't just play to play, she plays with a passion and a love for the sport. Could you ever imagine that....that girl is me?
