Yesterday, while I was checking sports news in a media,there was this post that totally grabbed my attention.An old classmate of mine had signed a professional contract with a top European football club.He’s gonna win hundreds of thousands per year while I’m here..a broke college student hopeful of getting a job that pays a fraction of what he’s gonna win.Should I feel jealous that he actually made it? I had the dream of becoming a great football player once too, just like many other kids in my country. I started playing football with my friends in the neighborhood when I was five.But playing only in the neighborhood wasn’t enough enjoyable for me so I decided to join one of the junior local football teams.My position on the field was left back.I was a team player,,I was fast and used to run a lot to help my team.I played for more than 6 years for that team until it came the moment of thinking about my future.I was aware of my skills and I knew that I was a pretty average player,I knew that I was never gonna be one of those players I used to admire every time I saw them on TV so I decided to focus more on school.High school is where I met this guy.We were both classmates and we both played for class’s team in the school’s football championship.He was a really good player,probably the best I had ever seen playing live.He helped our team win the championship at the end.So, to answer to that question…no, I’m not jealous for his success,I’m actually happy for him.He was such a great guy,very talented and I’m pretty sure he worked very hard to make sure that this day was gonna come.
