My greatest challenge was moving from Primary to Secondary. it was pretty big because i moved from a place fare from here and i didnt know anyone on my first day of school.
i got mixed up in the wrong crowd, i started drinking and tried smoking. i had big arguments with my parents and didnt talk to my sister for a while( who is my best friend, i trust here with anything) i used to wear so much makeup and were really skanky clothes and worry about my hair 24-7. but know when i look back i see what peer presure really does its not just making you smoke and drink it is much more it ruins you life and the ones you love. in year 9 i just had annof i was changing my self into something i was not, so i dissided to screw all my friends(who turned on me anyway and said that i said shit behind there backs) screw what people thought about me and screw my apperance and boys. i stopped wearing makeup, worrying about my hair made 3 new best friends (lisa, rachel, emily), and started talking to my family about the whole situation with smoking and stuff and i am a better person know and i coulden’t be happier. my parents have full trust for me know and they adore my friends. i realise know going through that it made me way more mature and stronger person . my school work, family, friends and soccer are my only consern, i have moved on from what i was.

Just because i am a girl , boys think they can tease me and my friends about girls playing soccer. i have heard that all my life by older cousins, people at school and even from my grandparents, it is sexist and i cant stand it . my family thinks that i am supposed to finish school, marry a greek  boy, settle down and have children, With out any distractions but i love soccer and they cant stop me playing. Yeah boys might be stronger and fitter and dominate the game but they didnt stop to think to give us girls a try. i have been brought up with my dad coaching heidelberg united. being greek its all about family, i love them to death but they need to understand my needs, and boys should stop thinking about themselves and think about us for a change.
