The game of softball has taught me lessons that I would have otherwise never learned. It has taught me leadership, honesty, trust in not only my teammates, but my coaches too, and a strong work ethic. That work ethic has brought me to where I am today: top 10 in my class, playing varsity part time as a freshman and sophomore, and being team captain as a junior. These skills have allowed me to have the confidence in myself that I could make it at the college level both academically and athletically.
