Throughout my life I have had difficult problems with numerous things, but one in particular was giving up soccer when I was younger because of a medical reason which restrained me from playing due to the fact that it could cause damage to my health.When I was younger, around the age of five I started playing soccer, then about a year after playing I started developing weird symptoms which made it hard for me to play. I was later taken to a doctor but they never found anything that seemed to be wrong with me. I continued to play soccer for another two years, but the pain became worse and I had to see a cardiologist which I was then diagnosed with heart murmur which required less activity and I had to give up soccer. This was a very difficult time because I had to get treatment for it, but it wasn't getting better and heart murmur is very rare to get rid of so my chances of playing soccer again was very low and at the time that I found out I was diagnosed with it and could not play anymore, my team and I were close to moving onto tournaments and I had to stay at the hospital getting my treatments. Even though I was told that I had low chances of playing again I never stopped wanting to play about five years after being diagnosed I was taken to the hospital, because I was having trouble breathing, when I got to the hospital I had to take a lot of tests to see what was going on, it turned out that I just had an asthma attack, but the results of heart murmur was not found in one of the test. After finding this out I was taken back to a cardiologist who said that my heart murmur had changed and was less effective than before. A year later I was back on the field, although it does get difficult at times when I am playing I still feel that I have overcome a huge challenge.
