In my life there have been many people and things that have been huge influences on me. Soccer is one thing that has been a big thing I my life. I have played soccer for almost twelve years, so it has taken up most of my life. Even though soccer is such a big deal to me, there is one thing that has influenced me much more then soccer or anything else. That would be my grandma. She is one of those people that have made such a big impression on my life. About six years ago my grandma had a stroke. That was just the start of her downfall.
