Personal Statement

I have been playing softball since I was four years old. It is my passion! I would give up anything at any given time of day to play a game of softball or even just to practice or train. Whenever I go onto the field I feel safe and comforted. I call the diamond "my home", because I am allowed to be who ever I want and just let out everything in such an amazing way.
