Living in Harmony
To be congruent means to be in agreement, to harmonize, or to correspond. When your life is in congruence, anything and everything you do is in harmony with your core values and principles. Intentional congruence means that you intentionally get involved in projects and associations that connect harmoniously with each other and with your overall core values and principles.
Even though guidance counsellors are a valuable source for information, do not rely on them because they have several hundred students to advise.

I love the idea of playing as a team and always being supportive of one another. Soccer isn’t an individual sport; everyone needs to play together to succeed.
I also love how the sport has taught me life lessons that I otherwise would not have learned.
