Throughout my years playing soccer, I have developed various characters traits that have helped me both on and off the field. The variouus character traits that I have learn are teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence. Theses charcteristics have made me a better version of my self that I didn't even knew I could be.
Soccer is a team sport, and success on the field relies heavily on how well the players can work together towards a common goal. For example, this year our goal was to make it to playoffs and by accomplising ths goal we had to communicate with everyone during the games so that we could win. Learning to communicate consistantly with my teamates and trust in their abilities, and put the teams success above my own has not only improved my performace as a team player, but also translated into how I work with others outside of soccer.
Another important character trait that I have developed through playing soccer is discipline. Soccer requires a high level of commitment and dedication in order to improve skill, goals, and physical shape. For example, this soccer season as captain my responsability was for every girl atleast showed up for practice every week so that they could learn new skills and techinques. By attending training regimen, going to practice, and pushing myself even when I feel tired or discouraged, I have learned the value of dedication and the importance of staying focused on my goals.
Playing soccer has also helped my to develop my self confidence. This can be explain because thorughout the filed as captian is my responsability to help my teamates and giving them support when they need it. Being part of a team that I feel comfortable and supported gives me the confidence of beliving in my self. Also beliving in the team that works hard and has the commintent as I, can make a miracle like winning a match.
Lastly, soccer has tought me the importance of sportmanship and respect. In the heat of competition, it can be easy to get caught uo in the intensity of the game and lose sight of fair play and respect for opponents. However, thorugh playing soccer, I have learned to value good sportmanship, treat others with respect, and uphols the integrity of the game. These character traits havee not only made me a bette player but also a better person, shaping my values and conduct doth on and off the field.

Volunteering is a way for people to help in their community without expecting anything in return. As a senior in high school I have volunteer not just to complete my high school hours but also because of the good feeling of giving back. Through out my three years of high school I started to volunteer from sophomore year, I went to my local church’s and helped by giving out food and clothes to families and individuals who were in need, and also volunteer as an usher during church, and in school events like festivals, games, organization, and dances. Volunteering service has taught me to become a better version of myself by being humble, responsable, and caring.
I still remember my first time volunteering at my church, that day I had to wake up early so that I could be there on time and help by making boxes with food that the food bank would give like bananas, lettuce, carrots, bread, and snacks. Something that I notice was that there wasn’t a lot of volunteers from my age, which made me think of why teenagers are more likely to not help others and prefer helping themselves. This can be explain because of the small group of volunteers were willing to help and most people were between their 40’s and 50’s. However, during my volunteering I was in charge of making the boxes and more boxes for low income families. Once done, we were able to leave and go home, usually I spend around 4 hours volunteering from 8am-12pm. Even though it was a lot of work an time it was worth it because it meant that I have help individuals who struggle to get food from places.
My second volunteering experience comes from volunteering at my church as an usher, which is helping during mass. My job is to lead people and families to their seats and collect the money that the people give out for the church. Even though it’s an easy job it also takes a lot of responsibility when it involves helping others when they are in need.
My other experience I have for volunteering is at my early college high school called North Houston Early College High School. When there’s any special events like food waiver days, dances, festivities, or games and organization I always involved to help in decorating for these types of events. For example, in my first semester as a senior I’m in an organization called National Honor Society and we were making a fundraiser by doing a back to school dance. That day some members and I were in charge of decorating for that day and that’s what we did. Once it finished we helped on serving food for student who were coming and at the end we had fun in the dance.
In conclusion, all of these volunteering experience has taught me a different lesson that I will never forget and is that helping others is the most thoughtful feeling that any person can give. Because making a change can make a huge difference.

The four season series on Netflix, also gives an example of monder relationships. This can be explain becauuse in the show dives into the dangers of online and offline personas, demostrating the potential risk of oversharing with others and cyberstalking. For example, in every season Joe cyberstalked every women who waas he attracted to see what she like and have a understanding of who she was. This points reflects on the nature of someone privacy, trust, and interpersonal relationship.
The gripping plot twists "YOU" has during their seasons is incredible because it keeps vieweres of guessing and questioning "what going to happen".

For example, watching season I didn't expected Love to have so much in common with Joe and that they were expecting a child together.
