  1. I believe in Lyons.
  2. Yeah, that's right.
  3. The so called King of the jungle which literally makes
  4. no sense to me at all because lions don't even
  5. live in the jungle, like why aren't they called the
  6. king of Safari?
  7. That would make so much more sense.
  8. But I will admit that it doesn't really have a
  9. nice ring to it Anyways the line is easily one
  10. of the most respected animals in the world with their
  11. sharp, ferocious teeth in their crazy strength.
  12. They've always been my favorite animal for as long as
  13. I can remember and I've always considered them to be
  14. my spirit animal.
  15. Although my parents seem differently.
  16. They have the audacity to compare me to Islam Just
  17. because I sleep and eat all day like one okay
  18. maybe they're right.
  19. I remember when I was younger I started playing soccer
  20. and I honestly loved it so much and even wanted
  21. to be a professional soccer player for the USwnt.
  22. I was a defender for my team and would try
  23. to play every single chance I had in and out
  24. of school.
  25. My parents loved that I was playing because I honestly
  26. started to get pretty good and they thought I may
  27. have a future in soccer.
  28. Years passed by and the worst thing that could happen
  29. that I know all athletes can understand happened.
  30. I started losing my passion for the sport.
  31. I once loved so much games in practice.
  32. Now I felt like a hassle and I would always
  33. dread having to play.
  34. All I could think about was how much I just
  35. wanted to quit.
  36. But I knew my parents wouldn't understand.
  37. One day when I finally got the guts to tell
  38. them I wanted to quit, they were shocked and couldn't
  39. believe it at all.
  40. They kept on telling me that it was just a
  41. face and I couldn't just quit soccer.
  42. I tried to take their advice and keep playing, but
  43. it wasn't getting any better.
  44. All I could think about was quitting.
  45. And every time I try to tell my parents they
  46. would just say no.
  47. It got to the point where I just couldn't take
  48. it anymore and I told them that they need to
  49. respect my decision and allow me to quit.
  50. This is when I realized that respecting other decisions is
  51. very important in life.
  52. When I learned that everyone deserves respect, no matter their
  53. race, age or gender.
  54. Again, the mindset that just like a lion, I am
  55. the queen of my own world.
  56. I believe in treating others and their decisions with respect.
  57. I believe in Lyons.
