Progress always involves risks.  You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.  ~Frederick B. Wilcoxd. If you never take those risks to strive forward you will always stay at the same place and you will always have to rely on someone to get you moving forward you always have to make good ricks so they can help you move on in life.  Life is all about ricks if you don’t take the risks you will probably never get where you want to go with your life however you have to take the smart risks of life not the bad ones that will make you go to jail or something like that.  If you take negative risks that will just make you go to jail or it will put you in the hole. If you do take the life of taking risks and you go to jail or you get killed or you kill someone you will live a life of regret and you will maybe not even want to live any more. However I am telling you to take the good risks, risks that may involve you in sports or risks that will help you reach your dreams.  Think of me when I was in the 9th grade I took the risk off going to play for a club team that was one of the best ones in the state I risked me not making it to the team and my old coach not wanting me back on the other team if I didn’t make it on that club team.  But I took the rick any way and I made it on the team because I knew that I was capable of making it on the team you always have to ask yourself  “can I actually do this” then you will know if you are really capable of doing what you are striving for in your life or whatever you are dreaming to be in your lifetime. 

Santos de Brazil is the team he plays for his name is Neymar Da Silva Santos Junior.  Was born on February 5 1992 in the city of Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil. He is currently 20 years old and in my opinion is one of the best players in the world.  He is known by “Neymar” he is a Brazilian footballer.  He also plays for the Brazil national team. You will often see him playing the forward position that is where he is most effective at. He has a very fancy way of play the beautiful game you will see that he uses his footwork to take on and beat players.  Neymar is the 7^th richest player in the world.  Along his career he has gotten much sponsorship such as Nike, Panasonic, Volkswagen, Red bull. That is why he is so rich. Though out his career he has gotten many young fans and I am one of those fans. He is probably my favorite player at the time.  His style of play is just incredible you never know what he is going to do he is very hard to predict his foot work is very quick and by the time you react he is probably already around you or he put the ball between your legs. One of his goals last year was announced the best goal of the year by FIFA.  He is waiting for the 2014 FIFA world cup so we its over he can transfer to FC Barcelona that is one of the greatest clubs in the world and Neymar will be playing there after the 2014 FIFA world cup. In my opinion he will win the 2013 balon de oro.  

Brian Montes was the name my parents gave me a birthday. I was born in the city of Albuquerque 17 years ago. I come from a Mexican family background both my mom and dad where born in Mexico. They moved to the United States so they could provide my older brother and me a better feature. My brother was born in El Paso Texas he is older than me. It is only me and him we have a small family. I am a very athletic person I love to play sports but the sport that I love the most and I can’t live without is soccer even though as a kid I played a lot of baseball I liked the sport but when I got introduced to soccer I fell in love with the sport I have only been playing for five years and I have adapted to the sport very well. I and currently playing for my high school team I am on varsity and I can consider myself as one of the best players. I have worked hard for all five years so I can get better and better my dream is to one day play soccer at the professional level and become one of the greatest players to come up from Albuquerque. I have a very big passion for soccer I look up to professional players like "Neymar da Silva" and "Cristiano Ronaldo" also "Marcelo". My favorite soccer teams are Real Madrid, Chivas de Guadalajara and Manchester United. I hope one day along my career I get to play for one of this big club names. Soccer is a worldwide played sports every county in the world has a national team. My national team is Brazil. Umm I am currently a senior at my high school and I am on track to graduate on time this year has been going by really fast it feels like just the other day I was waking up to my first day as a senior but we are almost done with the first semester. I really just want to be done with high school but I know that I am going to miss it when I graduate. I plan on going to college but only if I get a scholarship to play soccer for a division 1 college. I would really want to stay here in town and play for the UNM lobos they have a very good soccer program here at UNM. This club season I am going to play for one of the best club teams that we have here in Albuquerque. They have won state 5 years in a row I am very excited to play for this team because we are going to travel a lot if we win state this year we will be going to Hawaii for the regionals and there will be a lot of college scouts over there in Hawaii and that will increase my chances of going to a division 1 college.
