The attacker from the other team is dribbling toward the goal, fast. He seems certain to score. But then Celva catches up to him, matches him stride for stride, kicks the ball away, and races in the opposite direction.
"I'm a defender," 12-year-old Celva explains. "It's my job to stop the other team from scoring."
Celva's the kind of player you love to have on your side. He's quiet but assertive, he's ready to work hard, and he loves to see everyone on the team succeed. These are qualities that also make him a great part of some other teams—his church and his family. And so does his willingness to defend the truth.
