Personal Narrative: Softball

An activity I cherish the most is softball. This sport has been my favorite ever since I was three years old. Softball to me is a time to let my worries disappear. At the age of seven years old, I learned the rules of the game and began to play for Palmer Ball. My favorite position to play is to pitch or 3rd base. During this past year I have been pitching more, and my hitting has improved. In the spring I am joining the fastpitch team at school. I am a cheerful person, but also, I can become very competitive. Whenever I have a competition I try to beat my opponents, and my own goals I set for myself. At dance competitions, I try to do my best, and likewise, in softball. Friends and family have observed that I am most competitive when I play …show more content…
My deer hunting experience began when I was six months old. When I deer hunt, I am with my father, grandfather, two uncles, and my father’s cousins and uncles. Father and I hunt out by the Weis farm in the cornfield. This past summer I earned my firearm safety certificate. Now I can shoot during deer hunting season with my father. For my first year, I will shoot a 410 shotgun, which can be ear-piercing. I am ecstatic about deer hunting this year, and I hope to shoot one!
Riding bikes with my mother has always been a memorable memory. We ride our bikes in the neighborhood approximately twice per week. Once in awhile, we pretend that we are the witch on the Wizard of Oz. What I really enjoy is when my stepfather accompanies us. I love riding bikes with my family, it can be quite enjoyable!
I know I tend to struggle with maintaining being organized. My room looks as though a tornado has torn through it! It does not bother me about how messy my room is right now in my mother’s house because in a few months we are redoing my room. She really is not too thrilled about this, therefore, she plans to make me clean it before I redo my room. When my room is redone and more organized, I think I will do better in school and in sports, therefore, I feel I will sleep better. I plan to make a better effort to be more organized . I will try to be persistent in my efforts to stay organized and keep my room

    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.…

    Sixty miles per hour is the speed at which the average softball player throws the ball; so I guess you could say I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I believe I was exactly where I was supposed to be. You know how some people say there was a certain moment that changed their life completely? Well, this was that moment for me, and it all was caused by a miscommunication. Miscommunications happen all of the time, but with a softball that isn't actually soft, and someone standing only 30 feet away from you; well you can already see the implications. At the time, I didn't see what was going to unfold, but I had a bad feeling about what was to come.…

    Baseball Baseball has always been one of my favorite sports, and it will always be the longest sport I’ve played. A total of 9 years in Khoury league and 2 years in high school, so all in all I have been playing this sport almost all my life. I started baseball with the Red Bud T-ball team, the team had a count of 15 people including me and excluding the coaches. Those 15 kids playing on that team became some of my bestest friends and greatest teammates to have. Most of them ended up being with me until we couldn't play khoury league anymore, and then only about 3 or 5 of them played school ball with me.…

    My First Deer One brisk 30 degree day in January, when I was nine years old, was a day for which I was extremely excited. My dad got me out of school earlier that day, so we could go deer hunting. I had already shot a turkey the year before, so guns were nothing new to me. We made a quick stop at my house so that we could pick up the .243 youth edition, a really short barreled .243, that my dad had bought just about a month before so that we could go hunting, and I would actually be able to handle the gun. At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…
