Personal Narrative: My Third Year Of Softball

Softball is a sport that has meant a lot to me throughout the first two years. I used softball as an escape of stress and personal problems, it helped me forget about what was going on in the world and I never felt so relieved, but unfortunately during my third year of softball, it became the complete opposite. Softball became a place where I did not feel accepted and instead of feeling like it was a place where I can express myself, it became a place where I felt like I was not accepted. During high school I encountered classmates that criticized me and those same classmates became my teammates. I thought about quitting the team so many times because being surrounded by so much drama and negativity was something I did not need. Because
softball had such a big impact on me and I improved so much in the sport, I was not going to let anyone interfere with my success. I had trouble feeling comfortable around people because I felt like I was going to be judged when i was being myself. I know that EOP will be there to give me, and other students who have gone through the same thing counseling support.
Financially EOP will be of a great help to me and my family now that there is a probability of me not qualifying for financial aid. I will take every help and opportunity I can to pay for college because being the first person from my family and making my family proud is the main priority in my life.
