Entry #8. Trying Someting New.

I've always been very athletic and outgoing when it comes to trying new things. I've been in karate, dance classes and played soccer throughout my childhood. On my senior year I had decided that I wanted to graduate early but it would cost me to no longer play soccer. I had considered playing for a club team but I didn't have the money or the time so the gym would have to do. Once I graduated from high school in December of the year 2013 I decided to go straight to college. Several people had told me to play for GCC but I wasn't really convinced and didn't really have time with school, work and the gym. During this previous summer, I met a young couple at the gym and soon became really close to them. After a few months of knowing them, they told me that they had a softball team and that they were looking for people to join the team. It took me a while to make up my mind if I should join or not but once I saw that my dad and my brother joined I thought I should try it to.

I had never played softball in my life, I understood the game because my sister would play softball when we were younger but I'd never played. I was determined to learn and become a decent player. Over the practices I started to become good catcher but I struggled with my batting. My problem with my batting was that I didn't have the patience.

Over the season I became really close to everyone and I learned a lot. I really liked it and I honestly can't wait until the season starts again.
