Cookie Dokha sits their nephew, Shawarma, down to have a long, hard and necessary conversation with him. He has a burning passion for football and works tirelessly to improve.
“Look, Shawarma, I know that it can be easy to lose yourself in this new and exciting world. It can be hard to separate it from your own identity. I’m here to remind you that the other parts of yourself still exist. This just makes up one slice of the pie that makes up your existence. That slice of pie might taste fantastic; whipped cream tackles and cinnamony glory. Just remember you still have the rest of the pie to live with. Make it taste just as sweet. “
Cookie Leans in and looks at Shawarma with determination.
“ I know you will be a fantastic athlete. Just don’t forget to be a fantastic person along the way. I’ll be here, supporting you through the ups and downs that is football. But I will be here for the ups and down that is “life” too. Go forth and be the best pie you can be.”
