BullpenPersonal Statement
My passion for base ballI ,I"m sure is like so many others. Yes I have played the sport since I was 8 years old and so on. However I like to say my experiences as of the past 2 years have been different. I suffered an injury to my arm and after fully recovered I then became ill with MONO which kept me down "literally" for at least 6 weeks. Once recovered and feeling stronger a freak accident at a tournament in Florida occurred, ,a player tripped me up and I tore a ligament. My first thoughts "why me". However It has fueled my desire to come back to the game and be the best I can. Everyday I know is a decision to get better and stronger by training studying and having a positive attitude. The decision to "stay the same" is not an option. I know I am getting stronger and better and will continue to do so. I will play ball in college and I hope to play on your team.
