Personal Narrative Essay: Real Salt Lake

We start our story in Commerce City Colorado at the Rapids home opener.

I was in the locker room with my teammates Tim Howard, Jermaine Jones, and Shkëlzen Gashi. “Let's give it all we have chaps,” Yelled our Captain Jermaine Jones. “Griffin” cried Tim Howard “don’t give up any reckless fouls inside the box or where it's difficult for me to save.”
“Sure, but only if I absolutely have to slide or go in hard.” I replied. Exiting from the tunnel we walk next to our arch rivals Real Salt Lake. Entering the stadium, the crowd was chanting from the right “COLORADO” then from the left “RAPIDS.” Standing on the pitch, we stood watching as the crowd cheered.

The driver came out, he helped me with my possessions, when I climbed into the car I was shocked to see Bastian Schweinsteiger. “They picked me up on the way here, spectacular to see they wanted a youngster” he said
“Thanks?” I questioned. We rode to the Denver International Airport, we drove to the farthest runway, parked the car in the jet then were on our way.

The flight was only 11 hours ,which was odd to me, I would have thought it would be longer, but obviously not to Bastin. When we arrived in Manchester I went directly to the place I was staying.

My new Agent whose name was Zack Kap, told me “don’t get too carried away you could disappear just like that.” he said as he snapped his fingers.
“Sure Zack, but I doubt that it will happen.” I
