A couple years later I was in highschool, I stopped playing football and soccer, and started to really just worry about basketball and lacrosse. Once tryouts came out for lacrosse I immediately showed up and tried out. Coach told me that I made varsity, I was pumped until I found out I would barely play. I probably got about 45 minutes at the end of the season, but I got a varsity letter so it worked out good I guess.…

It was the end of my sophomore soccer season on Junior Varsity. We didn't win a single game and got blown out by large margins game after game.

After all, I had been missing soccer since I WAS on my EIGHTH grade school team. At the first open field, that uncomfortable feeling came back.…
Ever since I can remember baseball has been a part of my life in one way or another. My father's favorite sport has always been baseball and since the day I was born it has been growing on me as my favorite as well. Everything about baseball is what makes it so special to me, the time and length of the season, the beautiful fields and complexes, and the atmosphere of the games. I started playing baseball when I was about five years old and even though it was just me and my teammates hitting a baseball off of a tee where nobody gets out and everybody is a winner, I still found it fascinating. When I was just five years old I would go to the sports section of the newspaper to check out my favorite part about baseball, the statistics.…
Surprisingly I didn’t make the team. Later, in the year a soccer team was formed. I tried out for the team. I was selected for the team regardless that I didn’t know how to kick the ball in the right direction. Even though my team never won a game I knew that I enjoyed this sport.…
