My dad, who was a member of the Royal Navy before his retirement, had a successful career in government but, at the age of 29, was still with his family. I remember that I would walk over to his house on his birthday while he was out with friends and he would ask the family why they were so poor and how they could have so much money they were not able to get any in return. I remember telling him that I was going to fly to Glasgow and he would drive me to my place where I would get to see the Great Barrier Reef and spend a couple of weeks at the beach.
I remember going to Glasgow in January when it was a winter's day, I just was so happy. We were so close. We were just so close to being able to get into the World Cup and to have the chance to go to the Olympics and to have the opportunity to play for our country.
I was also in the middle of that journey and it was very hard. I was in a very dangerous situation and I had two choices, either to go and visit the Olympics in England, or to go for two weeks to the Caribbean. It was a very difficult decision. I was so close to getting into that decision but it was not the right one. I had two options, to go and go and go to the Caribbean, or to stay and stay.
The decision was made that I would stay, but I would fly back to Liverpool and I would stay there after the World Cup and the World Cup.
I ended up getting into a car and I went to the Caribbean. I went down to England, saw the Great Barrier Reef and it was just so beautiful. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the beautiful areas of the world and the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most beautiful reefs in the world. I was able to go to England, which is how I got into the boat and we stayed there for a couple of hours.
It was all a dream come true, but it was the dream come true. I was very fortunate to have worked with so many great people and I am so blessed to have been able to do what I did. I did everything I could to have the best possible outcome, whether it was in the World Cup or being in the Caribbean.
I can't tell you how many times I have cried and said: "My God, my God." I can't even imagine how happy I'd be in my dreams if I could have been there to see the world.
I am so proud of my family and the people
