I always like outdoor events or things that involve physically skill of some sort. I was one of them kids that liked to actually run for fun during my childhood.

This interest in music and mainly running shaped the direction I wanted to go and that was be something to help other face what I faced. I wanted to do something physical at the same time, so I thought of my major to be a exercise physiologist then become a physical therapist. Then I can help people physically and mentally get back in shape or recover from an injury. This is what I want to do fro my life by helping

    I truly enjoy all aspects of baseball. I started playing this sport at the very young age of four when I joined my first baseball team. I remember not being able to come close to hitting any ball pitched to me and practicing endlessly with a batting tee until I was able to finally do so. My love for baseball was also nurtured by the first major league game my father and I attended at the age of five, which was between the NY Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. From that point on I always associated trips to the ballpark as memorable outings in which I could always spend quality time with my family and friends.…
