3.0 novel project

I am a very good fan of Pele, and i have read 3 books of this soccer idol, and beleve me, this one had some information that the others didn't. Another great thing about this book, is the way they describe the things. Like in the world cup semifinal between brazil and england, they described how pele kicked the ball and gordon banks leaped and saved the goal, or when he won the final, and he was amid of all the crowed, and they said how they rip his shirt. Another example is when santos was playing the friendly match in africa, and there was a civil war, and only to see pele play, they made a 2 day truce. But it also explains personal things, like how he says that his 1000 goal was a very emphasis for him, also he vowed to get revenge to the lose of the amarela (brazilian national team) against Uruguay, or when he prevailed england that brazil is the champion on mexico 1970. Also when the media was saying that Pele was myopic. they tell you how he reacted and they also say quotes that he really said. Like "Goal of the plaque". If you read the book you will see why i am so interested to show you, and what was peles best tournament!

What a collage student thinks of i portfolio

           I think that if a collage student only looks at my portfolio, he would think that i am a good student, and that i am very athletic. He would think that because in all my best works, i did them very dedicated, and really learned something new of each and everyone of the assignments. Also if he reads the out of school tab, he would see that i really really like soccer. He would think of me as someone very dedicated and someone that wants to improve every time. If i didn't want to improve, then why would i go almost everyday of my life to soccer practice. And its true, i really like to improve, and i think and hope that i never stop having this thing for improving.
         If he saw the books i read, he would see that i ilk to read, but only books that i find interesting. I hate reading for an assignment, or reading basically because i have to. If I'm going to read, its something that i really like, and something that i find interesting or i want to know more about it. He would also notice that i prefer to read in spanish, but that i also like reading english books. I prefer spanish basically because i can understand better, and that gives me the opportunity to read more complex books, like magnificent books that Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes. They are very interesting, they help me to expand my vocabulary, and they are very fun to read.
