<p>I hope some of you parents remember my story from a year ago.</p>

<p>I’m an International student from England and i went to america to play soccer.</p>

<p>I didn’t go to college straight from school because i had to take a year off and work to get enough money to pay for my fees as my parents refused to help me.</p>

<p>Well my first year is over and I’ve been back home in London for 6 weeks and I’m about to go back to America in 2 weeks to take a summer class.</p>

<p>I had a dream year, it was beyond anything i could have imagined.</p>

<p>firstly my soccer team who have never won their region before, not only did we win the region but we won the districts which put us through to the National tournament in Arizona, we went into the tournament with a National record breaking 23-0 record, we made it to the championship game which we didnt win, we lost 2-1 to the previous champions and we finished with a record of 25-1. </p>

<p>I’ve made lifetime friends and can’t wait to go back , I love the school and the complete cultural difference to where i’m from.</p>

<p>I just wanted to say thank you to the parents who gave me advice and answered my questions throughout the year!</p>

<p>Congrats to you! Sounds like you might be a very talented soccer player! I know a Yorkshire guy who emigrated to another country and ended up playing in the world cup–where he scored the country’s only goal!</p>

<p>Maybe you could end up on the US team. They need some better talent!</p>

<p>Congrats to you for going over all those obstacles…great to hear that it went so well for you.</p>

<p>I remember well your story from last year, and the tense and difficult times during your leave-taking from London. I’ve been wondering how it’s gone for you, and am so pleased to hear you’ve enjoyed your first year so much, and with such success as well! I hope the rest of your time is just as good, and that you continue to achieve great things. Well done!</p>
