When I first read Middlesex’s admission catalogue, I did a quick scan to get a general idea of the school. A recurring phrase I saw was, “find your promise”. I decided to read the whole booklet to see what this phrase meant. The words combined with the sign of the hammer and anvil showed that in Middlesex, the faculty hopes for students to find new passions and continue on current ones. I found that appealing as it matched my personality. Curiosity brought me to this school and my faith in my…

only verbally in doing so. Rickey asked Robinson if he could face the racial insults from fans and players without reacting angrily (a genuine concern, given Robinson 's actions and subsequent legal complications while attending Pasadena City College and during his military service). Robinson 's response, "Are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?" And, to which Rickey spoke the famous words that he needed a Negro player "with guts enough not to fight back," and someone who…

Sixty miles per hour is the speed at which the average softball player throws the ball; so I guess you could say I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I believe I was exactly where I was supposed to be. You know how some people say there was a certain moment that changed their life completely? Well, this was that moment for me, and it all was caused by a miscommunication. Miscommunications happen all of the time, but with a softball that isn't actually soft, and someone standing only…
