Maritza: Lead With Your Heart

Soccer Dreams

Maritza has to find a way to convince Mr. Ramos to let the girls play. Violeta, another (new) girl from Maritza’s school soccer team joins in to help. Violeta also points out her younger cousin, Mia, who is eager to play. Mr. Ramos’ argument is that he’s concerned the girls will get injured more easily than the boys. Eventually, the girls convince him that girls are tougher than he may think, and that everybody trusts that he won’t put up with roughness on the field. Mr. Ramos consents.
