any advice...?!

Answer 1

To be honest, it doesn't look like your on track for being an American celebrity.

Perhaps you should work on being an American citizen first and once you get that going, then work on being a celebrity/soccer player/ etc.

By the way, most celebrities show a lot of skin, are you okay with doing that even though you're muslim?

Answer 2

It's possible. It also depends on what you consider fame to be.

If you're sport is what you love, keep working at it. While Soccer is not the American sport - it is played here. I remember a time when Pele was popular and Beckham (spelling?) had some degree of popularity as well. So, it's not out of the question. You just need to be more than just the game.

You might also consider being an advocate of building cultural bridges between Muslims and westerners. Be a reasonable voice that helps others understand Muslim culture and be instrumental in working on projects that bring both sides together peacefully.

Also, some type of plan to aid in youth fitness in America would be a good thing. Soccer is a low cost sport that most kids can play. Perhaps putting yourself out to the youth market in different ways (sports, fitness, exercise, sportsmanship) would also have a positive impact on your career.

Good Luck!

Sure, don't be hung up on your religion and national origin. Yes, it's important, but America is made up of all kinds of people from all over, and worshiping different religions. Americans can be very tolerant of other cultures and opinions, just not when it's shoved in our face or forced upon us.
Just be who you are. America is a place where anyone can come here and be successful, but only if they're willing to try, and put the effort in.

One of my earlier jobs was working at Erol's Video Club in Maryland. Erol had come here from Turkey in the early 1960's and knew how to repair TVs. In the years to come, he eventually became the owner of the largest independently-owned video store chain in the U.S. He put in 12 hour days every day until he sold the chain in the early 1990s and retired. Just as an example.

Answer 4

Well don't worry about the language. It seems to me that you speak it better than half of Americans. But then I'm British, so obviously I'm biased.
It's called ENGLISH, because it originates in ENGLAND.
Sorry, a bit of a rant there.

I think that anyone can be famous, no matter what religion or where they come from.
Just persevere, and see what happens. You may be pleasently surprised ;)

Answer 5

Can you be famous? Sure...but there are so many famous people. The odds of you becoming a superstar like Kevin Federline are slim.

Answer 6

Soccer isn't the most popular sport. Not at all. But maybe sice it isn't, it would be easy to get in.
