Personal Statement
I’m victor a Nigerian who has seen life in a very sad way. This is because I didn’t grow up with a father but I always had my mother. Education kind of gave me hope and something else to think about but I mostly enjoyed the sports time best in school because that’s the only time I get to kick a ball... this gave me joy despite the sadness within me, it’s continued like that till I graduated from high school where I started playing soccer more often and that joy took away the sadness. My mother believes education is the key and she believes it would change my family financially if I graduate from college and get a good degree, work in an office, earn good salary...all of this was her plan for me which is a good one but in following through with her plan I discovered that I wasn’t happy with what I was doing which made me loose interest and concentration I wasted 2 years in trying to force myself to be want my mother want me to be but at the end of it she realizes that she was making a mistake allowing my natural talent and love I have for soccer waste all of this began when my elder brother quite school to pursue his music career and he was been scolded for it by my mother but with time he started achieving what he want and even my mother dances to his music. This was what changed her mind about my soccer dream and from now on I’ve decided to give soccer all of my concentration and time I have the talent but still even “talent can be developed in become a great talent”
