The Dream to Play on the National Turf (At the Office)

A youngster from the inner city of Trench Town kicking stuffed juice boxes around. The journey and the dream intertwined on and off the football field with a determination not expressed but germinating from within. It only takes a spark to get a fire going, with a burning desire to play at the highest level but conscious of the economic reality that faces everyone. How do you make a choice between your first love and your second love? Can you really have it all? The National Stadium was to be the beginning or the end of a dream. This was the premier, the ultimate playing surface where all the important games were played. Every youngster wanted to be in a cup finals as they would automatically be playing inside the National Stadium. This was the dream of the author. The Reggae Boyz named it the Office, and so in order to work there, you must be qualified. Like most young University graduates, their dream is to work with Microsoft or in the Silicon Valley. The Author wanted to work at the Office, like the Reggae Boyz.
