I want to be a Link Crew Leader because I would love to be able to mentor freshman as my previous Link Crew Leaders did to me. I also feel that becoming a Link Crew Leader would not only allow me to help shape freshman to become better people but to help me become a better person myself. I have been both a volunteer at a summer program for first and second graders and an assistant coach for the special needs program at Alta Loma Little League. At the summer program I was tasked with teaching 3…

In the past my writing experiences have been both rewarding and disappointing. Disappointing because I seem to get a type of "stage fright" regarding the content in which I am to write about and my fear of failure. When the subject of what I am writing about is difficult and hard to find a positive outlet for, i.e. I am having a hard time getting in touch with my subject, the process of writing a research paper or summaries or any kind of extensive assignment becomes laborious and then…

to miss her next year. She knew she wanted to win, she knew she had to keep the rest of us positive, and she knew she had to do her job as a catcher. Grace gets ready to pitch, she swings her arm around, she watches the ball go by the batter. The umpire yells, “STRIKE!” We all get a little bit excited but know we have to not show too much because this is just the first inning of the game. She goes on to strike that batter out. The next batter hits a line drive to our third base, Addison, she…

It was a scorching summer afternoon around three o’ clock PM at J.D Redd Park. I was anxiously waiting in third base for the batter to approach the plate and smack the yarn covered ball just enough for me to make it to the home plate. As the sun hits my face I see the pitcher retract his right arm getting ready to throw it. As I see the ball leave the pitcher’s hand, I breathed in the humid air, making preparations to sprint as fast as I could and make it to the home plate. Before I could even…

Strike three the umpire yelled as the teams ran back to their dugouts. The first day I went to practice was one of the most nerve wracking things I’ve ever done.
