Why I Love Softball

Why do I love softball so much? I love this sport so much because it shows me in a little tiny box. It shows that I have the skills to walk on to a team and make JV out of 30 girls. It shows my corky personality through what my equipment looks like and the touches I put on my uniforms. I love this sport so much because I get to be with people that share the same passion as me. It makes me stronger through the experiences that it leaves me with. It gives me friendships that will last me lifetimes. Softball has me written all over it from my skills to my friendships that will be with me forever. Softball is me!

I LOVE SOFTBALL!!

 

 



I am a Role Model

What every older person dreams about is being a role model for someone. That is one of my biggest goals to be a role model for my sisters and the younger kids that play softball. Being a role model takes a lot. You always have to be on your best behavior and show the kids how to run the ropes. Well, in softball I have always been the youngest in my age group, so I have to stay down an extra year. At first I thought wow this stinks, but I soon realized that having to stay down was going to give me some pretty great experiences.  In my last year of majors, I thought to myself this is my year to strive to be a better role model. I made that come true by having a 1st grader say " Wow you are really good, I hope I can be good like you some day." That one saying meant so much to me. I knew that by working hard in softball, that some day those girls would work  just as hard and be were I am today.
