Becoming a professional soccer player has always been a dream of mine but that takes a

lot of time and dedication. My mom has always told me to stay in school no matter what and get

a college degree. But when I got offered an opportunity to join La Fbrica (Real Madrids

academy) I had to make a really hard decision. They told me I can become the mexican CR7 but

It was either stay in Rhode Island, finish high school and go to college or go to spain and play in

Real Madrid's academy and just finish high school. I asked so many people for advice but some

people were telling me to go and others were telling me to stay. It made making the decision

even harder and had me torn apart trying to pick what I should do. I eventually decided to stay
and it was the hardest decision I've made in my life but it made my mom happy so it was a good

one.
