Katelynn Shows the Boys How to Score a Goal

When I was in the 5th grade, I always played soccer by myself with a ton of boys. I am very aggressive when it comes to games big or small. So, playing alone as a girl was easy for me and fun. (Some boys were easy to penetrate because they weren’t good, but others were tough!)

My guy friends and I liked to play soccer during recess, but there was lots of tension during the game and running too. I usually ran up the field with the ball. So, I mostly scored(LOL)!  The day before had rained so the ground had been wet for a while.  When the defense came up to me while I had the ball I slipped, fell, and scored a goal!! The ball passed the guy goalie and I scored for my team! You know what? I scored with the bottom of my shoes instead of the inside of my foot…crazy huh?!! We won the game.
