Help Emmanuel Travel to Portugal

Hi, my name is Emmanuel Chism, a 17-year-old under-class all-star athlete. I've been a member of the select soccer team league in the state of Texas since the age of 8 years old. Out of 500 soccer players in the league, I've been selected to join The All-Star Travel Team for the Portugal challenge! Only 22 players have been selected! My work ethic, love, and dedication to the game of soccer have earned me an incredible opportunity to travel to Portugal to join The All-Star Travel Team for The Portugal Challenge, representing both Classic League and Become10.

It is my DREAM to become a professional soccer player and to play professional soccer! This awesome opportunity will allow me to showcase my talents on an international stage, immerse in the rich soccer culture of this vibrant nation alongside the best of the best players around the world, and make history as part of The All-Star Travel Team. I've worked so hard for an opportunity like this and it's finally here!

A little more about me, I love being surrounded by family and friends. I care about people and love giving out hugs and good advice to my friends. I'm a junior at Plano West High, with a 3.0 GPA. I love sports. My additional talent is track and field, where I run 100/200 and 400 meters competitions and training in long jump at my current high school. I'm a member of the Cross City Soccer Club league in Allen, TX. My friends know me as Manny and E-man, they know me to smile a lot, but often laugh at my dry sense of humor. I promote good sportsmanship and I strongly believe that if I work hard at my craft I can DREAM BIG and eventually my dream will become a reality. Well, today I'm dreaming big. All I want is the opportunity to play professional soccer and to one day compete in the Olympics.

This journey isn't just about the game. It's about forming lifelong friendships, creating memories that will forever be etched in my heart, and discovering my true potential both on and off the field.

The trip is scheduled for March 8th-19th (11-day Tour!)

My reason for creating this campaign is to ask for your support. Though I have the full support of my amazing parents I can only imagine the sacrifice and financial burden this trip will cause while supporting my dreams. The time and money already invested are currently paying off, but today I humbly ask for your support to help raise money for my expenses for this trip. Below is a brief description of travel expenses:

Every player will be looked at by:

Professional Soccer Agencies

International College Agencies

3 Professional Clubs

Thank you in advance, and please know that I don't take this opportunity for granted. My hope is to be recognized by professional Soccer Agencies, International Colleges, and Professional clubs that will allow me to go Pro. If you decide to donate to this campaign (any amount will help). I will strive to make you all proud that you contributed to this cause, work hard, and continue to thank you all along the way.

God Bless!!!
