my memory my dream and my sport

Football is the most popular sport in laos, especially in my a little town which hasn't a nice place to play the football, as i remember, i 've started to play th the football when i was very small, and played in the primary school was never tired, we had taken a break time after class in the morning and organized a game with other classes, i dont remember how many people for each team, but i remember that it was a funny game and amazing. it was so expensive to buy a ball in that time Laos didnt has a factory that could make the ball and other sport facilities ,100% of the sport equipments were imported from neighboring thailand and vietnam. i remember the ball that we always play at the school was made in vietnam which was very light and it flied very high when it was kicked, it was a good feeling when you kicked that made in vietnam football. in cotrast , some of people had a good quality football which made in thailand or some country, its brand was adidas or some thailand's brand. we ussually didnt play that ball, because some of my friends didnt own that.

I had to take care of cows and bufflalo after school and it's time to play sport. there was quie big yard in front of my house which has quite smooth grass and flat which was very suitable to play the football, normally there were some neighboring friend came to play together. the ball was somone's who brought to play, i did remember that i didnt own any ball when i was a kid.

sometimes, i always joined the completition in the village nearby where the young kids always betting for the game, which team lost would be paid the money. i played with naked foot, because as you know, the poverty in LAOS, The kid don't have even the sheoes to wear to school, so a piar of sheoe to play football? i think it's only for a rich family who can afford it. but for me, it was hard to have a pair of football sheos.

when i was growing up when i was in the middle-school, i still didnt have a piar of shoes, sometimes someone had stepped on my naked feet when i played, it was so hurting , but I never feel to give up this sport, this is a what i like and play.
