As a kid growing up in Morocco my whole childhood was based on football (soccer). All my family, cousins and friends loved the sport so It grew on me. As I was growing up I didn’t see myself being anything else but a professional soccer player as career. but during the time , all the Kidds around my age would say the same thing when asked what they wanted to be. But being the kid I was I started to look at the bigger picture, I knew I loved soccer and enjoy playing it a lot but the chances of it being it my career were slim as there wasn’t any good soccer programers in my city Tangier, Morocco . I started gaining interest in becoming a airplane pilot. at the time I always thought how cool it would be flying a plane across the whole world. all the different cities you get to visit during the job. ideas as a kid during the time were running through the roof just when I thought I could fly a plane as a job. but during the time I had no idea on how to even become one. it rare to see a aviation school/program in where I used to live in Morocco . later on when I came to United States as a kid I always had the idea of becoming a pilot on how many opportunity that are given in America. but as time went I slowly started to lose interest in high school as I began to see the bigger picture and I realized the career a pilot has did suite the type of lifestyle I want. Always on the move , always traveling not enough time to settle in one place and live while on the job. as of now I’m still expanding my choices as I have grown a lot of interest in other things.

Thats so true, everyone lives in that fantasy world where they dream of becoming the best soccer player. My idol was Ronaldinho, and I wanted to imitate all his tricks and style, but when reality hits, you understand you have to move on and look for a profession that suits your needs.
Great blog Mohamed, I can see your passion for soccer and I’ll tell you, a sport that has been played since young will always be apart of you, trust me I can relate. I really think you should take advantage now that you’re in a country that can lead you to more opportunities such as becoming a pilot. Who knows, anybody can be whoever they just have to stay focused, and what if you can write about the idea of opening new opportunities in Morocco. There has to be other Moroccans who would also want to be something in life such as a pilot.
