<h2>Don't be scared to be that player. </h2>
I believe I missed my childhood and secondary school days more than anyone else especially days we spent playing football on the field. 

These days were always filled with excitement. 
I remember we all have our role models then. We want to be like the big names called on TV. Just like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, and so many other names like that. We all strive so hard to be the most recognized player on the field. We all want to be part of the winning team.

The rules were quite different where I come from. Not everyone has the power to decide if they will be playing a particular wing or even play at all. This is a decision usually made by the owner of the ball and if you're one of his friend he might fix you at a good place. 

If you refuse to dance to their tune they usually threaten to take their ball away. So that makes them be the people with the highest authority on the field. 

People who don't fit into any of these two: owner of the ball or friend of the owner, are either told to sit down or become the goal keeper. This is a place we all hate. We all hate being the one stuck at home while we watch the other guys go out to show their skills. We all hate the fact that you can't dribble anyone. But don't be scared to be that player.

I didn't realize what it meant to be a goalkeeper. I felt it was meant for the useless players, those who can't fit in anywhere so they are stuck to the goal post. But now I understand better how the goalkeeper may be the most important player on the field. He is always the last person a ball must pass through before it is consider a goal. No other player on the field can do that. All the work done by the other players won't be noticed if all the ball that was played at the goalkeeper was a goal. He is the saviour of the team. <b> So don't be scared to be that player. </b>

<h5>Don't be scared to be that student that is not recognized in all the clubs and social spots. Be that excellent student that has capacity to change the world. </h5>

<h5>Don't be scared to be that audience that is not noticed among the congregation. Be that audience who knows that he is occupying a space no matter how little it seems. </h5>

<h5>Don't be scared to be that teammate that don't get to feature on the interviews and TV shows. Be that teammate who is the best whether people know him or not. </h5>

<h5>Don't be scared to be that player that is not recognized. Be that player that does great work in silence. </h5>

<h5> Don't be scared to be that steemian who will not make it to the trending section. Be that steemian that will say the truth even though it doesn't pay that much. </h5>

<h5>Don't be scared to be that player that will be left at home be that player that people can always count on. </h5>

Remember being the goal keeper means that you are number one. No other wing is as important as it is that's why it was vixen that number. 

Remember, don't be scared to be that player.
