Soccer Was Her Life
It’s a soccer phenomenon! All soccer coaches agree on that! She has been playing since she was 10 years old; but has been doing many other sports since she was born. Probably the most important ones for what she is today were gymnastics and ballet, since both of them gave her agility, coordination and strength, vital characteristics for a soccer defense. Anyways she has also practiced many other sports such as: Horse Back riding, Vaulting, Water ski, Swimming, and Tennis.
She is Colombian and was born on April 20, 1995 at Clinic del Country, located in the city of Bogotá. At the time, she was blonde, fat, cute, with brown eyes and of white color, like the powder on a fresh muffin; people who saw her for just a moment thought she was a doll. Her first years where incredible everything was extraordinary in her life, but as she grew up she encountered one problem, her brothers health. It would only be during certain stage of her life, but it would be one fall after another. When she was really small during the first four years of her life. Juan her brother faced several surgeries, but of course she wouldn’t notice this, nor care about it. As time passed she got older and things where OK but at the age of 10 her brother again had several surgeries. These where spread during a period of five years, which where really hard for her since she suffered a lot for her brother knowing she couldn’t do anything at all.
That stage of her life was marked by these incidents of close family members had faced. It was extremely hard since during two consecutive birthdays her brother had surgery on her birthday finally her brother again got stable and needed no more surgeries, which was an excellent thing for her since she suffered so much for this reason. Even though this was extremely hard for her, it helped her a lot since she learned how to appreciate things most people take for granted such as health, love and solidarity. In addition she became a better person and began to be able to help others with their problems since she was inside the small group of people that had faced problems before, and could understand how others felt.
Since the moment she entered the soccer team the coach was fascinated by the way she played. She had an enormous facility and was an excellent leader, which made her better for the position she plays. She entered the team on sixth grade and was trained by Prof who made her be in the initial 11 without giving importance to the fact that she was the youngest among all the players which at that age isn’t normal. The team of that year came to be second place after loosing the final by a score of two to one, it is a fact to highlight that Cristina had to be taken out of the game because of an injury and after she came out the other team scored the two goals. That was her first year in the soccer team.
Her second year in the world of soccer at a school level would be decisive for her. This was due to the fact that ¨ Prof ¨ decided to place her as a central defense the position she would be occupying for a long period of time. Here she would demonstrate her abilities, and the fact that she was excellent since she was: fast, agile, strong, and careful when she had to deal as the last girl of the team, because if she commits fault it is a red card for sure. That year they would end up in fourth place of the Uncoli Tournament, but would be Champions of the Peoples Play tournament being the team who had the least goals scored against, as well as winning the prize as best defense player of the tournament.
