Happiness on the field

By Ramon Quiarte

Isaac Martinez is a sophomore at Yerba Buena High School, he likes to do a lot of stuff like skateboarding, playing video games, hanging out with friends, going to the gym and lifting weights. I would say he most likes to play soccer with his friends. Whether it's just him practicing his footwork, passing, shooting, etc he will always try his best.

Isaac’s uncle gave him inspiration to start playing soccer from a young age Isaac has always loved soccer. He always found interest in soccer games, always watching matches whenever they would pop up on tv even if they were old matches. Isaac would study how certain people play and would try to mimic their moves.

“I liked seeing people play and I would try to copy their moves or tricks”

Isaac has always had a passion for skateboarding, Isaac would dedicate his whole day to learn tricks to do, he would skate off the sidewalks, drop in the bowl, he would do ollies, kickflips, etc. Isaac has dedicated a lot of his time skating, If he can't do a trick then he tries and tries no matter how long it takes him until he can do it without mistakes. Isaac says it feels great to finally be able to do a trick without messing up. “To finally be able to do a trick without mistakes is a great feeling”

Isaac likes hanging out with his friends whether it's just playing video games, playing soccer, walking around, at the skatepark, isaac and his friends always have fun when they're playing or walking, one thing i've noticed about isaac is that when he hangs out with his friends he seems happier than just being cooped playing games and even though he plays games with his friends it doesn't compare to them actually meeting up in real life to do things like play soccer or even go to the mall and walk around. They mostly like to play soccer together at the park or at the field.
