Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field. Being on the other end of the stick in the situation makes you wish for a mercy on you and you can just go home and play Xbox for the rest of the night. Probably the only scary aspect of baseball is getting clocked in the jaw by an awful pitcher’s baseball. And uh… well, that happened to me. Ok, basically, I went up to the plate. I was feeling pretty good…

“Progress looks like a bunch of failures and you're going to have feelings about that because it’s sad but you can’t fall apart. And then one day , you will succeed.” (Grey’s Anatomy) A brilliant quote that I take to heart because I am blessed with all the opportunities that have been given to me despite my past failures,lack of motivation and confidence. In my teen years pursuing a nursing career was not a plan. I fathomed the thought of being in the medical field because it is science…

I started playing soccer for my school in first grade and kept on playing till third grade when I stopped because I found a sport I felt was much more appealing to me in the way the game was played and the teamwork needed to play. It could also be fact that my dad told me I needed to play, which was fine because I wanted to play anyway. This sport is baseball, an All-American sport played by athletes who are not afraid to put themselves in front of a 100 mile per hour ball. Baseball takes a…

Re2pect the Glove Not everything you are taught is the truth. It is a generally accepted and widely taught adage that money does not buy happiness, and that people should not focus on material objects. I agree that we should not obsess over material objects, because after all that is what they are, material, but sometimes a material possession can be attached to a memory or time in your life that is worth remembering. I grew up an avid sports fan, thanks to my father. Together we watched and…

I actually had to work to get a spot on the team. Luckily in tryouts, I do not try to hit home runs and actually made solid hits.

Although I made the team, I was surrounded by amazing…
