Softball / Fall ball

     I played my first game of fall ball ever yesterday for my school's team. I've always been busy in the fall and haven't wanted to put the extra effort into fall ball. Now that I'm getting older I've decided I need to make time for playing fall ball since softball is my first priority for sports. My goal is to play in college, but if I want to be able to keep up with other girls I need to start focusing more on softball. I've always been a player that can usually keep up with any position. I got thrown into catching my freshman year because there was no one to catch for our JV team. I had to star from the very basics and learn how to catch step-by-step. Surprisingly I ended up really liking it. It was a lot of work but I stayed in that position for JV for all of my freshman year and most of my sophomore. I also played outfield off and on for JV and some for Varsity. I went into yesterday thinking that if probably be in the outfield, which I was for an inning or two. But when my coach needed a first baseman he asked me if I'd be okay with playing there. This was a surprise since I haven't played there in years, but I went for it. It actually went really well and my coach told me that if I try hard I could even possibly play there for Varsity, since the spot is open. So, I guess I could say my first day of fall ball went pretty well. I can't wait to work hard for a consistent Varsity position this year.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
