Softball
Softball has been my over all favorite sport since I was a young girl. I recently play on a travel ball team by the name of Clutch Up Softball Academy. Softball has helped me through so many struggles in life because without it, I wouldn't have met the amazing friends I have today. The sport is my go to when I need to stop worrying about things or have problems because I forgot about the problems happening and just play and keep focused. Although, it was quite rough at times because of some activites that i had to give up and financial reasons as well as some people that didnt believe in me. Everyone would think that I can not make it somewhere far because of my height which is the reason why I stopped pitching. I would cry at night because of the rough things I went through with the people I thought believed in me and didnt but, I worked extra hard at middle infield and my batting. Everyone complements me because of how a strong hardworking player I am along with the great attitude I have on both my good and bad days. I am so glad I have played this sport for a long time and hope I can be someone big that everyone admires.

My Family
My family has always been there for me through good and bad times. Although, my dad walked out on me at a young age, I still had a bunch of supporters especially my mom. My mom has always nurtured and tooken care of me since I was born. She has rough times financially but she will do anything for me and get me anything I need. I can tell my mom anything and I know she will give me good advice and help me out. She is always in the crowd during my softball games and pays for all the equipment, lessons, and dues that I need for softball to become a great player. I always hope to make my mom proud because without her I dont know what I would do. I also have to give great gratitude to my grandma. She was always there for my mom and me when we were going through a rough time, so she would always take care of me when my mom was at work as well as take me to school and give me food. Even though me and my grandma have our ups and downs I love her so much. My cousins: Brianna, Junior, Isai have been with me through anything. I dont have any siblings so they are my "unbiological" siblings. They were always there when I needed them and we would play with eachother all the time. We would never be apart, me and my cousin Junior are always inseperable. We would always get eachother all the times by doing our different schemes. Also, we are great baseball/ softball player. We always played at the same park and never stopped loving the game and we are always eachothers supporters. Also, I am so glad to have my second set of parents, my aunt and uncle. I always considered my uncle as my dad since he was always there for me and cared about me. My aunt, was the same way and I was so close to my aunt that I can tell her anything that I couldnt bare to tell my mom. My whole family love to watch the Dodgers game and go to the game every chance we get. All of us have many jerseys and bobbleheads of every player. We also know nearly every player and stats of each player. I enjoy bonding with my family and going on vacations with eachother, I love my family so much and am glad to have them in my life.
Dodgers
Ever since I was young I had grown up loving the Dodgers. I know nearly all the players statistics and past teams. My family and I admire how they play. My favorite players are currently Adrian Gonzalez, Corey Seager, and Clayton Kershaw because of their great work ethic and dedication. I know more history and recent news than most of my other family members do. The dodgers had first been from Brookyln and then moved to Los Angeles a few years later. They have won a few world series titles but are hoping to win another one. At the moment, they are in second place in their division, behind the Giants by 4.5 games. Although, I believe that they can be in first place once again and win in their division like every other year. But, a problem that they have is pitching and batting. By this I mean, when the starting pitchers are doing good and winning, the other pitchers or "bullpen" begin to pitch in the middle of the game and do something wrong to make the team fall behind and lose as well as the batting which has struggled. The team has their ups and downs so there are days where we hit and other days when we dont, but they need to be hitting consistently to win the game. I have been a long time fan for the Dodgers and still plan to be one when I get older.
