Biography of Leilani Sosa

Leilani Sosa was born May 1, 2012, at 6:29 a.m., in the Women's Hospital of Houston, Texas. I was born to my parents, Marisol and Roland Sosa. It has been 12 years since I was born and I'm now 11. I am the middle child of three siblings (Michael Sosa and Dominic Sosa).

My #1 hobby and talent is soccer. It takes up most of my time. Club soccer practice, club soccer games, outside workouts, and club soccer tournaments take up time from my week. My #2 favorite hobby is reading because I have a library near my house and I own a lot of books at home. My #3 hobby is making little origami items. I like making little boxes, hearts, animals, and flowers from sticky notes. 

My biggest accomplishment happened this year when my teammates and I made it to an easter tournament final, as a new team playing against teams that played with each other for years, was a big goal and deal. We won the first game 5-3 and then the day after we played another team that went 1-0, so we played one last game the next and lost 3-2. We were second in our bracket, so we made it to the finals but lost 3-1. Before we knew about this tournament 3 of my teammates, including me, got to go to Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico. We got to go because our team was chosen to go to a Villareal soccer camp in Mexico to collaborate with Villareal Mexico. It was an amazing experience to play with new people my age and learn their style of play.

I only have 5 goals, the 1st goal is to go professional in soccer, and my 2nd is to make it into the state finals, my 3rd is to have one of the greatest women's soccer careers of all time, my 4th is to have fun in everything I do, and my last goal is to remember 3: what my family did to get me here, to remember all the sacrifices they made and I'll make to get there, to remember to never give up no matter how hard, cold, or painful the job is.
