The sun was beating down on my back, sweat dripping down my already terrified face. I was about to make one of the most important phone calls of my life to date.

I have been playing all morning. The battle for the rings softball tournament. All morning I have been playing at 3rd base. I'm the starting 3rd baseman.

All my life I've grown up watching my older sister play the game of softball. Being the little sister, I looked up to her and always wanted to mirror her every move. From the clothes she wore to the way she walked. But the best thing I ever did was mirror the way she played softball. She pushed me to be at the top of my game and play every game like it was my last. As she played high school softball I dreamt of playing second base and wearing her jersey. And that's exactly what I did. Four…

Softball is a very fun sport to play. I have played softball my whole life. I have learned a lot over the years and I have practiced and played many times.

There were all kinds of things to do in the city and I had to choose something to do on the day my aunt was off work. I…

Many jobs require you one hundred percent concentration and attention, Mrs. Paul Keller job so happens to be one of those job. Paul is responsible for many important tasks that can mean the difference between life and death of not just him, but others as well.
