my hero has to be Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. He was born in the poor suburbs of Rio De Janiero www.footbo.com/Players/Ronaldo_1
 his nick name is Fenomeno because when he was born they said first thing he saw was a soccer ball !!!
 no i'm just joking that isn't true. Haha!!

he began his football career playing for cruzeiro when his family were in a tough spot and it was something he could do that he loved and get payed for it and also cruzeiro is where he scored 12 goals in 14 appearances

prior to his up coming fame he was turned down by his childhood team flamengo but brazillian world cup legend Jairzinho saw his potential and helped him get a transfer offer to psv

when heading to the Netherlands he felt like he was crossing into the harder level of playing soccer compared to his home club flamengo. it was like he was crossing into a new world of adventure.

in his second season he was marred by a knee injury which kept him out of most of the season, but he still averaged nearly a goal a game in the league, with 12 goals in 13 appearances when he recovered.

  1. These are some very interesting examples, but you need to identify which step of the hero's journey each one is.
