Six-Word Memoir Final Blog

        This is Brad Simms, who learned by mistakes and accidents.

My six-word memoir is "Don't be scared, you young grasshopper". I chose it because this is for the people that are new to something but are afraid to do it. It really has to do with skating and bmxing because you really do tough stuff there. People do things that are really hard to do but learned it from their accidents and mistakes.  If you don't fall or do mistakes you are pretty much not going to learn anything the easy way. I like this memoir myself because I bmx and sometimes I'm not confident at all at doing something. My friends always try to motivate me to do something and I do to show them that I can or atleast give it a try. I've fallen but I get back up and give it another try until I learn the trick. This is my Six-Word Memoir.

This is Ochoa going for a great save!

Guillermo Ochoa is my soccer idol. He has inspired me to play as a goalkeeper in soccer. When he was eighteen years old he had debut in a soccer team called Club America from the Mexican League. The reason why he's my idol is that everytime I saw one of his soccer games I would go out to the park and play with some friends and of course be goalkeeper. I've always liked the way he would do the saves nice and simple, unlike some other goalkeepers that were very "cocky". About two years after he started his proffesional career, the Mexican International Team called him into the squad. They called him up because he was very young and had a lot of the abilities that a goalkeeper needs to have to be good. He then started playing with his club and his country's team. He is now Mexico's number one goalie and after him are a few other good goalkeepers with some skill. There has been many great football clubs that want to buy him, after all of those hard struggles he finds a new team/home. At the age of twenty-six he signed a two year contract with France's Football Club called Ajaccio. He's been doing very good and has impressed his fans by doing his tremendous saves. It's only been a couple of months since he started playing in Europe and there has been larger clubs that want to buy him and hopefully his dream becomes greater.
