It seems like yesterday I was playing tee ball as a little kid saying how I wanted to play major league baseball when I got older. Most kids wanted to be a teacher, firefighter, and doctor, well I wanted to play professional baseball. When I turned ten I set my mind on working as hard as I can to making it as far as I could in baseball. If it didn’t work out then hopefully Ill get a college scholarship for baseball and get a good education from a good school. So ever since then I’ve been practicing almost everyday to get where I wanted to be. I’ve spent countless hours and long days working on my swing and throwing and running when I could have been doing other things instead, but I wanted it so badly.
I believe you will get what you want in life if you work hard enough for it. I have worked hard and it has payed off so far, I have played for some good baseball teams and traveled the nation and as of right now I have been able to get into a prestigious school. Some people I know say im lucky or had the right breaks but that’s not true at all. Its simply hard work, dedication and how badly you want it. There have been days where I wanted to give up. I would hit a wall and think all this work isn’t worth it, im not getting better. But I got through it. Your always going to have obstacles but the ones who succeed are the ones who get through them. I believe people that devote there time to something and work for it will get what they want when its all said and done.

I too have been in my sport since I was a kid and it's hard to believe we've made it this far isn't it? Most people never really get to the point that we have made it to and that shows determination and dedication. My favorite part of being in a team sport is that the travel. Seeing the entire country is something that many people don't get to do. Hard word always does pay off and it takes a special person to push through all the rough times.
