Baseball

Baseball, for me, is not just a game. It's my one safe place that I can always look to. In the midst of life's chaos, when the world seems to be spinning too fast, and the noise becomes too loud, I step onto the diamond, and it all just fades away. Silence. The field is where I find my serenity, my moment of peace. It's where I can take a deep breath and just exist—where I'm no longer caged by the constraints of everyday life. There's something about baseball that provides a mental and emotional escape. It's unlike anything else I've experienced. It's in the focus required to anticipate the next pitch, the strategy behind every move, and the camaraderie among teammates. There is a reason we say "sit fastball; react to the curve". When life throws a curveball, baseball teaches me to adjust my stance, react swiftly to the change of pitch, and swing with all my might. On that field, my problems don't weigh me down; instead, they fuel my drive to push harder, run faster, and reach further. Baseball has always been there for me. From my early days of little league to the high school varsity team, the game has been a constant companion. It's taught me about resilience, dedication, and the importance of teamwork. And I'll never forget the surge of pride and the sense of achievement when, as a sophomore, I made varsity and then found myself starting on the team by the time opening day came around. That moment was not just a personal victory; it was a testament to the countless hours of practice, the sacrifices made, and the support of those who believed in me. Making the varsity team so young wasn't just about playing baseball; it was about proving to myself that with enough grit and determination, I could overcome any obstacle. Every time I lace up my cleats, I carry that lesson with me. Every inning, every out, and every pitch serves as a reminder that no matter what life throws my way, I have the strength to persevere.  In times of loss, I will continue to lead by example in sportsmanship, learning from our experiences, and making adjustments. I also hope to continue to lead the team off the field in spreading awareness of the baseball program, fundraising, and being a role model - not just in baseball skills, but in life choices and behavior for younger athletes.
