Michael Owen

I am no ordinary thirty year old Man, oh no, I am one of the world's most known and recognized athletes. My name is Michael Owen. I was born in a small town in England called Chester. This is where my life started, as a young boy I was very lucky to have my mom Jannette, my father Terry and I was also very fortunate too have my five brothers and sisters. my mother and father both had a very big impact on my life and also much the same on my siblings but when I was younger my father was also like me right now a very famous and known athlete, to my home town Chester. My parents were very rich when I was young enabling me to do much that I wanted. When I was little I had very big dreams of jumping way up into my father's footsteps, so I would practice every night on a three hour time table to improve my soccer skills. shortly after I was at age 5 I could do much of the things kids five or more years older could do!

I have been playing at a very high level of soccer ever since I was a young boy. I always wished to play soccer just like my father had and I would always try to impress my family. Every night I would either practice with the high schoolers of my town or even some of the adults around that love the sport. When I reached the age of 10 I was scouted and had as many opportunities to play professional as any pro these days would wish for. When I reached the age of twelve I had to make the biggest decision of my life, I could play for four of the world's most amazing premier league teams. My choices where to play for Chelsea, Arsenal, and even Manchester United. About one week afterward, I had to make my final decision, and right when I was about to sign with Manchester United the offer came in and I signed with Liverpool on their last second deal!

In my life I was very lucky to have the most money around in my town. This was the main reason why I could do much that I wanted while I was a child. But the hard part about having tons of money is that when I had the opportunities that any kid would dream for my friends would all be very jealous. When this happened it made my life spiral down the drain at an early age. So days went by and then weeks while no kid would even dare to look at me. it felt exactly I was invisible. After a few years went by my parents noticed me being down, I immediately told the story of what was happening and why, it was already too late I had no one to turn to but my very own family.

In my entire life I was inspired the most by my very own father who was always there for me when I was a child. He taught me new things and even trained me to be better. Dad was always showing me how to improve while I play and also train me to be the best. The biggest impact my own dad had on me in my lifetime was when no matter what, I would never have any worries. No matter what, my dad had a professional career in soccer he would be there for me. My father meant the world to me as a child and in my eyes he thought I was a hero in his life too.

As I became older I easily solved this problem by playing for many teams who would support me. at the age of 19, my name was spread world wide when my team became one of the qualifiers for the world cup! I had no problems after that and now that I think about it, any kid that used to stare right through me would be crying to their moms that they missed such a great chance to grow up with me. Through all the publicity I got by playing soccer I think any one would want to hold my hand right up beside other super stars like Beckham and Gretzky.
