Grew up as a child never wanting to leave the house. Before beginning the 6th grade at Stilwell Military Academy of Leadership, I made a decision that a first I never seen myself doing. My family and I took my little brother to sign him up for baseball at the ball park. I turned to my dad and asked if I could endeavor softball. That next week, I took my first footstep onto the clay and in the beginning I was nervous to play. Then I started to enjoy it extremely, that I didn’t want to stop playing, staying late just to hit a few more softballs, or just fun around to catch them.

The season was very short for the JV team. About a week or two after the season was over coach asked me if I would like to join varsity and play first base. Of course I said yes even though me and my dad said that I wasn’t going to play for a while to give my knee time to heal completely.
I didn’t get to play many games for varsity, which my dad was kind of mad because he had to spend $60 on new pants. Even though I just got to sit in the dugout it was pretty exciting to be there cheering on the girls. The varsity girls went to districts and we were automatically in the semi-finals. But we had lost the game to Terry Parker. I was one of the starters, I started at first but I was just a defense player.
Now that the season is over I just plan on taking a break. I am going to skip slow pitch to let my knee heal more. This will also give me more time to enjoy watching my 8-year-old brother play baseball at White House. I absolutely love playing softball, and I my dream is to be good enough to be able to play in college, help other kids learn to play softball or
