Leticia Dunsmore '20 Recruiting Profile

     My goals are different from anyone else I stay awake at night when my mom says go to bed that means to me get on the laptop and work on softball looking at the statistics of hitting and throwing and looking at all the other catchers and the difference between them. There weight and size differences how fast they are. I sometimes wonder am I different no one I know or have seen does this there hoping that when they get to high school there on varsity but they don't put in the extra time that I do or sit awake at night and having swet  on her face  and just blocking the ball at 10:00 at night and my mother telling me to push it and waking up at 4:00 in the morning to do it again. I have huge dreams that I want to ACHIEVE!! I just don't want to make varsity softball I want to do it for a living  I had a real life moment I was in class and the teacher asks me what do you want to do and it was simple  I wanted to give her a step by step I said " I want to make varsity I want to play College ball and I will make a living playing professional softball'' She look at me and said pick something else that wont happen lower your standers. I stood up and said your a dream killer and I'm going to do it watch me and she gave me a lunch detention i will do what ever to achieve my goals and  wont stop for nothing to do it. You give me a  scholarship  you will see a side of me that   only true coaches see I give 10,000% everyday and every second  your taking your time for athletes who you trust to be great players and great women and I will do that on and off the field. My academics and very good I may not be a smarty pants  but I'm higher with my grades  than the most average 7th grade student at Thurston Middle School. Most people will start off with I love this game and will do anything for it but I don't believe in that the first question the coaches ask if why do you love it but there is a difference between loving it and being in love with it I'm in love with softball  because the wind the dirt and the grass in you hands and face feels like home nice and warm that's the place I want  to be. I'm willing to do anything to play softball I will work day and night with no sleep in between and even when I want to quit I know i cant and I wont there will be tears during the road but that's why there is a dirt road for that extra mile.
