Continuously working to perfect my delivery and dominate the zone with three pitches‚ a fastball‚ curveball‚ and changeup. What I didn’t know was what would happen in the first game.

“Mamo‚ nie chce isc do szkoly‚ ja sie boje!” That is the first thing I told my mom in Polish before walking into my classroom on my first day of school. I was terrified‚ and I told my mom that morning that I was scared and I didn’t want to go to school.

I remember crying everyday before school because I dreaded the embarrassment of not knowing English and the humiliation put on me by my peers

I grew up in a household consumed by sports. At a young age my father drilled things like ESPN‚ football‚ and elbow pads into me and my brother’s heads. Both of my brothers were naturally gifted in athletics. I on the other hand‚ was not. I couldn’t catch a football‚ run a lap‚ or shoot a basket to save my life.

Athletic It was my first year of high school and I thought about playing sports but never told anyone. All my friends were already into sports and I didn’t even understand it. First‚ I thought I would be too shy to play anything‚ I don’t like a crowd of people. Then I thought my weight and height would be a big issue‚ I didn’t even think I could get pass try outs. Everywhere I would go I would always be the shortest person. Eventually my thoughts changed. After being in school for about a month I

All My Sons 3/18/13 Critical Lens - Benjamin Aereli Benjamin Aereli once said that “Circumstances are beyond the control of the man‚ but his conduct is in his power.” I agree with this quote.

I stared at the car with excitement and admiration; it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen‚ and it was mine. I took it for a test drive around the block
