School-at-home

Baseball is America’s pastime. Little boys play catch and grow up dreaming of playing in the World Series. Families have picnics on the grass and watch a church baseball game. Friends plan a trip to a Major League game and share in the excitement. Ballplayers travel the country together while playing the game they love, becoming friends and often family. God created humanity for community and fellowship, which is a perfect opportunity for baseball. The characteristics of baseball players often…

“I loved baseball for a while, then wasn’t so sure, then loved it again” (Ankiel 1). In just one sentence of the Autobiography, The Phenomenon, Rick Ankiel described the many difficulties that came along his route to success. He was budding into one of the best young pitchers to step on the face of the earth, but then came the pressure, the yips, and the pitch that changed his life. Ankiel’s book is an incredible story of how a big leaguer overcame the mental roadblocks in his mind to become a…

“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…

too high up, on either sides or too low. If the batter gets four balls then he/she gets to walk to first base. Basically giving the opposite team a free bag/base. I had always played first and third base for years. Until, I was a sophomore in high school, the coach needed a pitcher. I said I would and with my first pitch I had awed the coach. After my first time pitching, I was told by coach that I pitched hard and fast. He worked with me on how to hold the softball and making it go straight…

These odd numbers would catch my attention and grasp it firmly to this day, although in a much more advanced way. During middle school lunchtime, it would always be a competition between me and my friends to convince each other that our favorite players were the best in the league. We would toss our elaborate jargon at each other seeing who could outwit whom, saying things like,…

It was the bottom of the ninth, and the Yankees are currently up to bat. There are men on second and third base, yet only one out in the inning. One of our best pitches on the Cardinals roster this year, which was 1930. Jesse Haines was closing the game today. We were currently winning by one run, the score is 3-2 and all we have to do is hold them and the game is ours. Nevertheless, with our luck, Babe Ruth steps up to the plate. He is not a force to be looked down on, with his .359…

You would think that “Fly Away Home” by Eve Bunting and “Middle School” by James Patterson are very different which they are, but they have some similarities too. For example a common theme would be never give up. Andrew And Rafe both want something which is freedom. Andrew wants freedom from the airport which he is living in. Rafe wants freedom from middle school where he just wants to be himself. In “Fly Away Home” Andrew and his dad never give up by saving money to buy a apartment. This…
