Juárez's History

"The afternoon he was invited to play, a nervous Juárez joined dozens of other boys at a practice field after school. One of the boys offered to translate for him. Besides English, he heard several other languages for the first time — languages he had never even heard of. He was given cleats, socks, and shorts to play in.

Before practice started, the players circled up and the coach asked everyone to welcome Juárez. In that spirit, he was asked to tell everyone what country he was from and his favorite soccer team. He took a deep breath and spoke quietly through his translator. When he finished he was met with cheers and applause."
