my value essay

Values in Amirica have gotten worse and worse in my opinion. People use to value family, friends, time outside, clothes, and shoes. They also valued there sports teams and there equipment. Now some people don't see the true values of there life. They don't see past the T.V, the ipods, he computer, and cell phones. These items may be help full but is it your most valubale item or memorie. I honestly think that there is so much more to life then tecnolagy.

My values are very important to my favorite thing to do. My priced item is the most important piece of equipment to play my favorite sport. The priceless moment is the most exciting part of my favorite thing to do the serge of energy is just the best feeling in the game.

The price item is my soccer cleats. Soccer cleats are most important piece of equipment that is used in my favorite game. Some people care the most about there shoes or jeans to be fashionable. The only fashion that I care about is my soccer cleats. I just love to lace up my cleats and run around and kick the ball around. The leather boots as the Europeans call them are just like a girls leather high heels.

I get new cleats every fall and spring. In fall I play for South Hadley high school varsity. In the spring I play for western united who plays many teams from Maine to New York . My favorite cleats that I have ever had were called Vapors they were white and gold fitted to my feet and they were the lightest cleats I have ever had. I have two pears of cleats that now that I used depending on home and away games. My home cleats are silver with yellow hells. My away cleats are white and gold.

My priceless moment is when I see the soccer ball fly into the goal and my heart just starts racing and I feels like everyone around can see one person. All of my teammates swarm me and jump on me and there all exited. The other team just looks at me with discussed and right there I know that they all want to be me. It feels great to know that I just mad the other team hate me for scoring on them. The only better feeling then that is when I scored with no time and they lost because of me and I the hero of the day and then every one talks about it for a couple of days. That’s kind of my 15 minutes of fame.

My favorite goal that I have ever scored was for my all western mass team against an all central mass team in 2007. It all started with a corner kick for my team. Kyle sends a high lofted ball into the air and teammate Jon kicks the ball and hits the crossbar. I am standing in front of the goalie and we see the ball hit the crossbar and about to drop right in front of us. He dives hands stretched out hoping the ball will fall into his hands. I throw all my weight towards the ball and it hits my head and roles into the goal. I get up covered in mud and I’m instantly swarmed by my teammates. I have scored the goal that puts us up 2-0 with not much time left that will send us to state quarterfinals. My perfect goal ended up to be the game winning goal of that game and we later on won the state championship.

When my favorite item and my priceless item combine to make a great day, it’s a great day because everyone likes to be the center of attention and I just love to play soccer in my fitted kangaroo leather cleats. I wish I could wear my $160 cleats to school because there my favorite and most comfortable and most expensive piece of footwear I have. My perfect goal ended up to be the game winning goal.

In conclusion I wouldn’t sell my cleats for anything except if I could buy more or better cleats. I wouldn’t change my priceless moment for any thing because it is the most exiting moment in sports because there are so few goals in soccer that it makes it even more special.
