Retrospect(回首往事) is a wonderful thing. It allows you to see what led you here, how you turned into who you are and, hopefully,how society has changed and improved.
In 1999,I wanted to be a"farmer's wife". Thankfully, after quick correction by my progressive parents, I changed my mind about my job choices.
I had grown up in a football-loving family; my dad played in the Liverpool FC Boys squad until he had to leave because he hurt his leg seriously. My parents' love story began at Anfield, and my older sister Stevie trained with Crewe Alexandra Girls for a year or two as a left back, just like our hero Jamie Carragher.
I remember the exact moment I told my dad I was interested in doing what my big sister did. Iwas watching the game with him in the living room as a pre-teen and it just came out:"It makes me sad I can't be a footballer." He asked why not, and I answered,"Because I'm not a boy." He immediately responded by telling me that women's football was"great"and that I could play if I wanted to."Yeah, I suppose,"I responded,"but no one watches women's football."
As time passed, I began to realize that my dad was right. Women's football was gaining more attention and respect. I started to see female athletes being celebrated and admired, and people were changing the way they thought of women in sports. This change inspired me to stick to my dreamfor football, and I eventually became a professional player. Looking back, I am grateful for the progress that has been made, and I am proud to have been a part of it.
