Photo by Amber Liponoga John Higgins, a freshman from Oakley, Scotland, came to the United States in hopes of playing soccer for a college team. Scottish soccer player lives his American dream Ben Reed Stuff Writer

John Higgins grew up in the village of Oakley, Scotland, with the dream of becoming a professional soccer player. Throughout his childhood, he played for top-level teams for his age, including Glasgow Celtic, one of Great Britain’s most famous clubs. When he was thirteen years old, his club team be- came national champions by winning the Scottish Cup. While in high school, Higgins played with Dunfermline Athletic. After graduating from high school, he thought he was close to being offered a professional contract. However, this was not the case. Lakesh ents Higgins began working a factory job at SUN Microsystems in Edinburgh. He worked as inventory controller, supplying material as needed for production. After working less than year, he realized the job was not for him. m.lincolnap Then Higgins considered the option of continuing his education. He had excelled in school his entire life. Higgins decided to look into some American universities. He traveled to the United States for the first time in the fall of 2003. 1 and 2 bedroom apartments “Coming to America was a tough adjustment,” Higgins said. “It was my first time really away from my family, which is always difficult.” 8 Located by Castleton and Keystone Higgins has cousins who live in Indianapolis. He stayed with them for two months, going to various . Great nightlife nearby universities for visits. Washers and D “I spoke with many soccer coaches, hoping to be offered a scholarship,” Higgins said. “I went to . Butler, IU, and IUPUI. But at Division J schools, you can’t try out with the team. So they had no way to see me play.” One of Higgins’ cousins coached a club soccer team at Dynamo FC. Higgins practiced with the team while he was in Indianapolis. Coach John Griffin coached for the same club and saw Higgins playing. In 2004, Griffin was offered the coaching position at U of I and recruited Higgins to attend. “After staying in Indianapolis for a couple of months, J returned home without a scholarship offer, so I went back to work,” Higgins said. “One day I received an e-mail from Coach Griffin, offering me a scholarship. I was very lucky it all worked out.” Higgins enjoys his educational experience at U of I. “Education is really relaxed here. Teachers are approachable. I like that,” he said. Higgins earned a spot on the Dean’s honors list after his first semes- 24 hour Fitness ter. C At U of I, Higgins particularly enjoys the set-ups of exams. “1 really like the continuous exams idea. In high school, I had one exam for each subject at the end of the final year. It was big pressure. It is a lot nicer to take exams at the end of semesters.” He also has enjoyed the community of students at U of I. “I’ve made many friends here at school. The boys here are a lot of fun, just like the boys back home. They are always up for having a good laugh,” Higgins said. Although Higgins has been satisfied with his stay in America, there are many things from Scotland that he misses. “The language is a big difference. It is difficult for most people here to understand me. I have to **Check out our awes change the way I speak,” Higgins said. “Sometimes the language here is confusing as well. Ameri- cans love to use abbreviations. Before my first soccer game, one of the coaches said, ‘Let’s get a W.’ I had no idea ‘W’ meant ‘win.’ It just doesn’t make sense to me. Why say ‘W’ when it is easier to say ‘win’?’ Adjusting to the culture has also been difficult for Higgins. “In Scotland, we have a pub culture. I love being able to walk down to the pub with my mates, have a few beers, and watch soccer,” Higgins said. “Here people order pizzas or cheeseburgers and watch NFL or NBA. It isn’t the same.” Higgins plans to major in physical education. After graduation he plans to attend graduate school and study secondary education and be a graduate assistant coach with the soccer team. He hopes to be a soccer coach in the future. “I want to give kids out there that same chance that I was given,” Higgins said. PAGE7 THE REFLECTOR ENTERTAINMENT APRIL13,2005
