There have been so many times throughout my life where I have felt like I don't fit in, but one that particularly stands out, is throughout joining different soccer clubs. I've played soccer since I was seven, and it has always meant so much to me. I started playing while living in London, during elementary school. But when I moved back to the US in 6th grade, it was hard to find a team that I felt a part of. I tested out a bunch of clubs, but each one felt like everyone already knew each other and I wasn't really part of the team. This influenced my playing, and I would never play to the best of my abilities. Soccer wasn't fun anymore. Even at my current club I felt this way, but I realized that I just needed to push through it, and eventually it would feel more natural. I'm on the team for a second season now, and it's beginning to feel fun again.
