On the way home from school, David was always seated by the window. He opened the window wide as usual and let the afternoon air blow across his face while he remembered, moment by moment, the game he had played that day. One of his teammates had said, “What you did on the field today was unbelievable.”

“Guys, I believe we have a player of national caliber on our hands. As soon as possible, get your autographs! David was mocked by another player who gave him an almost excessively forceful pat on the back.
Playing for his nation and making history, like all of his soccer idols, was the far-off ambition.
When he and his squad held the golden championship trophy and grinned for the cameras, David could practically taste the wonderful air of pride and victory.
At the conclusion of the contest, David would repeatedly practice his remarks for the cameras and the media. How he ascended from lowly origins. And how everything he had become was due to his mother.
David was so engrossed in his reverie that he failed to notice that one of his students had requested to sit next to him.
The youngster took a seat by David, embraced his rucksack, and began to dream of his own. “My goal is to become the school’s best soccer player.” similar to David. It’s unbelievable that I’m seated beside him!
The child would never pass up the opportunity to watch David play because he was a huge fan. David was everything he wished to be in his imagination. He wanted to wear the expensive soccer shoes David was wearing, play like him, and have plenty of friends who were just like him.
The child, embarrassed, concealed his feet under the seat and thought, “These old, tattered shoes should do…for now.”
Guillermo struggled to make friends since he was always shy. The child eventually worked up the nerve to approach his hero.
Oh? Hello, Guillermo Thank you.
David returned to his daydreaming, and there was an awkward stillness.
“Your shoes really appeal to me!” The first thought that entered Guillermo’s head was blurted out.
“These? The soles have already begun to break off, and these are pretty old. I’ll be receiving new shoes, which you should see. As he considered the ideal pair of sneakers he had been saving for, David’s eyes brightened.
