Childhood memory

       Some of my most vivid childhood memories were going to tryouts or camps for soccer.  I feel like these events in my life really helped me grow up, because I had to put myself out there and get noticed.  Everything was on me and if I wanted it I had to go get it myself.  I think these were some of the first moments that my mom wasn't able to help me at all, just there to encourage me.  So I think that this realtes well with the part of growing up on having to do things in your life on your own.
