Our team consists of 16 players. Our captain for 2 years has been Alex Mekler. She has been playing soccer since little and her first AASCA was in 7 grade, now she is a senior. She plays a libero and thanks to her the players from the other teams dont score. Our sub-captain is Lara Carlow. She plays in front of Alex. She started playing with the team last year and has improved really good! Our right defense is Maude Pires. Her first AASCA was in 9 grade. Our left defense is Jana Atkinson and her first AASCA was in 8 grade. She was going to play as our goalie but couldnt because of her knee problems. Our center mid-fielder is Jessica Nunez and Nicole Lamas. This year was Jessicas first year in the team and Nicole’s was last year. Our left mid-fielder is Camille Garnier and she started to play with the team last year. I am the right mid-fielder and I started to play with the team last year. Our two forwards are Marian Fishman and Daniela Mekler. This year Marian scored 9 goals in the tournament and even won a trofee. Daniela played as goalie this year because our goalie, Melissa Rodriguez, broke her leg three days before the tournament. The subs are Ryan, Nadine Cordero and Ruve Pires. Our coach, JOse Manuel Artavia played for 15 years with the team Cartagines and has been the coach for the varsity team for many years. These team is the one who got in 3 place last year and this year in 2 place!!
So, what does freedom mean to you? How does this relate to you as a blogger? Take the time to evaluate your definition of freedom and how it relates to you and the Internet. Post your answer on your blog. However, personal comments are welcome.For me, freedom is that you are free! I really like that Ms. Rumford did this question and related it with US History. I enjoy that as a blogger we have the right to write what we think or believe with out being harassed. In the United States you have the right so say whatever you believe like Bush is dumb or something similar, and you cannot go to jail. What I like about the edublogs, is that Ms. Rumford is just letting us say whatever we want to say. Obviously we have to be careful with our comments or posts, but we just have the freedom of speech. If I want to give my opinion on something, but it is a negative opinion I have the freedom to do it. But always freedom of speech has its negative effects. If you insult someone in edublogs you can get kicked out of the network, but they have the right to do it. I mean this, because they are giving us the freedom to write what we believe, but we don’t have to abuse of that power. Everyone has the right of freedom of speech and we can write what we believe and just be happy!
I think you can already see that I LOVE SOCCER! Since I was little I’ve played soccer with my cousins, that is when I started “loving” soccer. When I was in first grade in the Panamerican school I would be the only girl in the team. I was mid-fielder and will always fight with the boys on the team. In second grade, more girls joined the team, so they made a just girls soccer team. I was named captain but stayed on the team until half of 3 grade because I changed schools. In my other school, just my two best-friends and I played soccer so we were in the boys team. Although, two months later the team was canceled because not many people signed for it. So, I was really sad, so I would only play soccer with my cousins or friends. When I entered CDS in fifth grade I didn’t get in the team because I was two small. In sixth grade I tried again. This time I wasn’t a starter, but at least I was in the team. After a month o so of playing in the team I realized that I loved playing as goalie. Then, I became the official goalie. Just before the final, my math teacher kicked me out of the team because of my bad grade in math, so this time I was REALLY sad. In 7 grade I joined the team again, but this time I was also playing in the Varsity team. In middle school, the coach didn’t let me change to mid-fielder so I had to play as goalie. In the Varsity team I started as defense and was the supplementary goalie. I was really thrilled when the coach from the Varsity team picked me to go to the AASCA Tournament held in Panama. Even though, I was in the Varsity team I still had to attend the middle school practices and games. Our middle school coach wasn’t happy when I told I was going to go to Panama. Now, in 8 grade I was the sub-captain of the middle school team and a starter in the Varsity team. This year we won the action tournament in the middle school team, winning the final 7-1. In the Varsity team we went to AASCA in El Salvador and got in 2 place. On both teams I play as center mid-field and I do the corner kicks. In the middle school team I do the goalie kicks, corner kicks and free kicks. I really love soccer and I hope I will continue playing it until I am really old!!!
I am also in the middle school soccer team. I have been in this team for 3 years now. Before I used to be the goalie of the team, but last year I started playing as center mid-fielder. In this team I do the corner kicks and goal kicks. Marian Fishman is the captain of the team and I am the sub-captain. In this year’s action tournament we didn’t lose a game and got in 1 place. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play on the semi-finals because I was in AASCA. Fortunately, I played in the final. I will be posting later..SEE YA!!!
Today I have a game with the varsity team against AIS. We really want to win because they beat us in the final at AASCA. I will post later how we did in the game.!!! Unfortunately we lost, so we are really sad. But we hope that the next time that we have a game against AIS we will beat them!!!!!
On March 4, I went with my school’s varsity team to a soccer tournament in El Salvador. We arrived at 3:00 p.m. and then we went to the Hilton Princess Hotel. After they gave us our room key, Camille Marian and I went to unpack our bags. We were all really tired so we just when to the sauna and jacuzzi. At night we went to eat at subway. On wednesday we had training from 11:30 to 2:00 p.m. After we arrived to the hotel and went to the mall for 2 hours. When we got back, we all went to this salon to do an activity called “Ice break” were we get to meet the other teams. On thursday we had to wake up at 5:20 a.m so we could go have breakfast and then at 7:00 our bus left, Our first game was at 11:30 against Mazapan from Honduras and we beat them 3-0. Our second game was at 3:00 and against Balboa from Panama (the winners from last year) and we beat them 1-0. On friday our first game was at 9:00 against the host team, Panamericana, and we beat them 1-0. The second game was at 1:30 and it was against CAS from Guatemala and we beat them 6-1. On saturday the semi-final was at 8:00 against ISP from Panama and we beat them in penalties. The final was at 4:00 against AIS from Costa Rica and they beat us 1-0. We got on 2 place, but I was satisfied with the result and i think that also my team was happy.
