When I started playing softball I was more interested in building dirt mounds and chasing butterflies in the outfield, until the year I was left off of the All-Star team as an alternate. That event was the turn in my softball career. I made a promise to myself that day to never be the 'bubble girl' again. I have worked hard at my sport to ensure that promise is upheld to myself.
There have been many goals along the way since that date that I have made, and I have accomplished every one of them so far. Playing at the collegiate level is the ultimate goal, but I know that it takes many steps along the way to get there. I know that to be a stellar collegiate athlete, that I must put my education FIRST and sport a close second.
I am excited about seeing the hard work pay off and my dreams become a reality.
