Essay On Baseball Experience

Decent Essays
One evening after a long day at baseball practice, I came home took a shower and immediately went to bed. I was so tired after that long hard practice that I did not feel like eating dinner. The next morning I woke up feeling well rested and full of energy. Once I got out of bed I noticed that my back felt funny and something began to flap behind me. The next thing I heard was my mom calling for me and saying.
¨Get out of bed and hurry down for breakfast” yelled my mom. I turned and looked in the mirror and noticed I had wings. ¨Oh my goodness” yelled loudly. I didn’t know what happened to me overnight but it was the coolest thing ever. I tried to flap the wings very fast to see if I fly but nothing happened.

    Baseball: the sport where you stand around for 20 minutes and move 3 feet to the left and move 3 feet to the right. It’s so intense. It’s so intense that you could take a nap on the field with everything out there. Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field.…

    All throughout one’s life, you must encounter obstacles, face adversity head on, and keep your head high all the while. Thankfully, as a child, I wasn’t always alone in completing tasks or accomplishing things.
