I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and I am the second child out of my siblings. I have an older brother, younger sister, and younger brother. We were all born in Indiana, but six months after my younger brother was born, we moved to Illinois. My father got a better job and we stayed in Illinois and lived there for six years. That is where I spent most of my childhood and finished growing up here in The Woodlands, Texas. I had made many great memories in Illinois. It was a fantastic place to…

across the baseball diamond. As dirty sweat drips off of my red face, I examine the field. The whole team knows that I have caught well the first three-fourths of the season. Now with two weeks to play, my coach is trying to adjust my catching style. All season he has ridden me harder than any other player on the team. I have done my absolute best for the previous three months, and I have been the voice of my team because everyone else refuses to speak during a game. I do not love…

Swinging the bat slowly in the September sun thinking about the motions of hitting the ball. The day seemed perfect enough for the day I had been waiting for for two years, getting my first home run. I always doubted myself when it came to something big. Usually I worked better if I had something to work towards, but what? The heat was reflecting off the field onto the players The day seemed perfect enough to be the day I had been waiting for for two years, getting my first home run. I always…

ally is someone who is a good influence and helps you learn the right kinds of lessons. Derek, my trainer is my ally because I have learned from his teachings about work ethic and he has also helped me upgrade the health of my arm. Last year during baseball I almost tore my rotator cuff and my magnificent doctor had me visit him. I was very blessed to be able to work with Derek because he acquired my arm health back and even increased my arm velocity. I improved from 70 mph when I was 12 to 77…

engrossed in a game of tug-a-war that no one noticed he was stealing bases and headed home. Eventually, each child heard their mom’s voices, yelling STOP, and quickly gave up. The majority of the rookies who were unsuccessful in retrieving the baseball began to cry. There was one particular 5-year old that appears to be the comforter. He gently put his arm around the mournful player(s) and walked them back to their…

It is said that history repeats itself. To a variety of cultures sport has held similar meanings, during different historical periods. Today, sport is often referred to as just a game, but not many of us have dealt with obstacles of being an immigrant in America. Yep (2009) described how a playground in Chinatown San Francisco affected the Chinese immigrant community. The playground provided recognition, a sense of community and a sense of cultural pride to the Chinese immigrants. With the…

dad would probably be too tired to play catch after he gets home from work. Then, I thought it would be a good idea to see if Jules wanted to play catch with me. I then go upstairs to her room and I ask, “Hey Jules do you want to play catch with a baseball?” “Sure I will be right out,” she tells me. Afterward, I go outside and wait for Jules to come out. It ended up taking her fifteen minutes to get ready and…

going to tell you some things that I’ve found are the most interesting about him and his career, for example his parents and his mentors and achievements.You may or may not know who he person is but let me tell you he is a role model for many to-be baseball players and in fact he has even been in the Hall of Fame. He has accomplished many things in his life to receive that honor. He knew what he wanted and he went for. Then he practice and practice and tried his best to to everything he could…

Tapping Hypocrites most likely everyone knows at least one in their life. Well I have a pet peeve and it makes me a huge hypocrite. Picture yourself in a classroom sitting there working really hard on your work trying to the best of your abilities. Then you hear it tap, tap, tap of the person next to you tapping their foot and their hand, pencil just shaking like they are tapping. While you yourself are doing the exact same thing that you get so annoyed with. I can remember this one time that I…

My lifetime goal is to become a High School Softball coach. I’ve been playing softball since my Freshman year. When going into Highschool I wanted to try at least one more sport then what I usually played which was Volleyball and Basketball. My freshman year I played all 3 sports. My sophomore year I got cut from the volleyball team so only played basketball and softball. The 2 years I’ve been playing softball I developed such a deep passion for it, so my junior year I dropped basketball to…
