Every time that I run my fingers along the raised stitches of a softball, I think back to the time I played softball. My fingers needed to be in an exact position on the stitches in order for me to throw the perfect pitch. It’s a chapter of my life that doesn’t bring back all happy memories. I spent six years of my life being a star, and I’ll admit it. I had extreme talent when it came to playing softball. It was like I was born for the game. Everything came so naturally to me. But I wasn’t born…

There are three steps to stealing a base. I’ll start with the first one: the rocker step. The rocker step starts by standing on the base that you’re going to steal from. You…
Perspective 1 (Me): Allergies drove me crazy as I waited my turn for the Star Drill at softball practice.

“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” Jim Rohn said this and it powerfully connects to me. The quote means, are you killing time aimlessly or exploiting it purposefully. I try to live everyday with at least one goal, a purpose, an objective. My life can best be described by a softball stolen from a field, memories of my family, and my future career. A softball is a symbol of my life. My life would be completely different if I didn’t play softball. I wouldn’t rush to practice every day…

Canada to win the first gold medal in basketball. In 1949, the National Basketball Association, also known as the NBA, was born. The NBA started with seventeen teams, but by 1954 only eight teams still participated. Later in that year, the NBA changed rules and now thirty teams around the country play today.

The exclusionary rule is a rule that is available to a defendant in a criminal case that is a remedy for an illegal search that violates their Fourth Amendment rights (nationalparalegal.edu.com. n.d.).

One of the exceptions is when a police officer has an independent source of knowledge besides that of the fruit of the…
