The Three Passions of My Life
Three passions have governed my life: love of family, love of sports, and the desire for education.

My daughters inspire me, from the softball fields to the class room. These passions, like the beat of my

heart, never ends.

The love of my family id the greatest passion I have. My two daughters Rebecca and Cloe,

brings such joy to my life. Rebecca Hope was my first daughter, born August 24, 2000. She gave me love

and an inner feeling I had never felt. Through all the pain and the tears, I still fell head over heels in love

with her. Never would I have thought I could experience that feeling again. Then on July 7, 2009, a little

six pound, black-haired, dimpled faced, little girl was born; Cloe Grace. The rush again was out of this

world. Different from the first, but all the same in a weird kind of way. Both Rebecca and Cloe makes my

heart skip a beat every time the say mommy. God has truly blessed my husband John and I.

As a young girl I played softball, making sports my passion. I loved the fields. Playing first base,

second base, and pitching. The hitting of the ball and running around that dirt diamond shaped field. The

bruises, scrapes, and the friends. I enjoyed softball as a young girl, so now I gladly pass that passion for it

on to my oldest daughter Rebecca. I love sitting behind the fence with the other parents cheering on the

girls. The long weekends at softball tournaments, the sound of the crowds, and the girls yelling in the

dugout. It brings back so many memories. I love watching Rebecca throw a forty mile an hour fast ball. It

feels my with such pleasure, because I know she has the same passion of the game as I did at her age.

The desire for Education is a passion of mine. In June 1997, I graduated from North Central High

School. Not knowing what I know now, I decided to take as year off. Big mistake on my part. I have been

out of school for fourteen years now, I have just

    I play first base and pitcher. I think they're fun. They are positions that keep me on my toes. This year I hit 5 homeruns and 2 grand slam. What is a home run?

    Basketball and baseball are the greatest things to ever happen to me. There is not one day where I do not enjoy shooting hoops or hitting home runs. People always say that I should be playing baseball because of how fit and athletic I am, so I tried it out, and it turned out I was pretty good. For basketball it was a different story. People have said that I was way too short, but my first game I scored about twenty points and everyone kept quiet.…

    My accomplishments in softball were second team third baseman for my freshman and sophomore year and my junior year I got the first team utility player. I have got voted team captain in softball. In softball we had two coach changes, out first coach was Mr. Chavez and the coach currently is Mr. Torgeson. These two men have different coaching methods and it was very hard to adjust. Chavez was all about the hitting and Torg was all about bunting. There overall look at how the game is played are completely different from each other. Therefore when he had a coaching change it was a big shock for me. As a freshman, I played on the varsity team and I really loved getting to have that experience. I loved playing softball and I have played since I was about 5. In Softball I seem to always hurt myself, I have hip problems and I just recently had surgery on my wrist because of softball. Therefore I learned that you need to take care of yourself and work out to keep everything attached. You also need to practice hard to succeed because in my opinion, I think hitting a softball is super hard and you need lots of practice succeed. Softball is a great example of you will fail first before you succeed because in softball there is three strikes and you might not hit the first pitch but you can hit the next one. Therefore batting in softball you might fail first before he succeed. “Never let the fear of striking out get in your…

    As a child, I grew up carrying a baseball glove and a pearly white baseball wherever I went, hoping for the chance of finding a partner to play catch with. The game of baseball was never just a game for me; it was a lifestyle that I had fallen in love with. With that being said, the fundamentals of baseball had no immediate effect on me as a kid. However, as I have matured along with my love for baseball, I believe that the game my life has been centered around for nearly twelve years has shaped me into the person I am today.…

    I started playing softball in fifth grade,and I loved it all with a burning passion; however I quit my senior year. It was stressful mentally, physically, and emotionally. It began to take a real toll on me. I have the body of a ninety year old as it is, and all of the endless drills were not doing my body any justice. The late nights of coming home after a game and having to eat, shower, and do homework made me extremely tired the next day. Yes, it’s a part of it, but it’s not something I wanted to continue doing.…

    In a small, rural town called Arlington in Vermont, playing sports was a normal thing to do. It was nothing special it was just a way to waste time. There were only three sports you could play, soccer, basketball, and baseball. No football, hockey, etc. For me though, I loved the smell of the fresh grass when I was on the soccer field and the basketball courts. I loved when my parents watched me from the sideline and I could hear them cheering me on. It was just the best feeling to have. As I grew up in Vermont I never really knew how a big town or city felt like being in. I was in a school with only 400 kids in the whole high school! There was no loud traffic or packed mall, it was just farms and the pond. You had to make your own fun out of things. That’s why I loved to play sports.…
