Playing Soccer and working out.
I love the game of soccer. I currently play in a women's league (GLWSA) and indoor throughout the winter months. I believe in a healthy lifestyle and fitness. A healthy body yields a healthy mind and vice versa. I believe that being healthy promotes a positive attitude and with a positive attitude one can achieve anything.
