Softball has not only taught me to be a better athlete, but has taught me to be a better person. It has given me memories that I will remember forever, along with friendships that will last a lifetime. I hope to be given the opportunity to continue my softball career at the collegiate level and to expand my knowledge about the great game of softball. One lesson I incorporate during my daily life is how to deal with failure. When It comes to myself as a student I have become more patient, especially in improving my work habits and my attitude. Softball has given me a reason to continue to improve and has inspired me to be better everyday. I am willing to step out of my comfort zone to support my teammates for their success. I believe that I am different than other recruits because I have come to an understanding with myself and my surroundings and learned what it takes for me to be successful on and off the field.
