The Three Passions of My Life
Three passions have governed my life: love of family, love of sports, and the desire for education.

My daughters inspire me, from the softball fields to the class room. These passions, like the beat of my

heart, never ends.

The love of my family id the greatest passion I have. My two daughters Rebecca and Cloe,

brings such joy to my life. Rebecca Hope was my first daughter, born August 24, 2000. She gave me love

and an inner feeling I had never felt. Through all the pain and the tears, I still fell head over heels in love

with her. Never would I have thought I could experience that feeling again. Then on July 7, 2009, a little

six pound, black-haired, dimpled faced, little girl was born; Cloe Grace. The rush again was out of this

world. Different from the first, but all the same in a weird kind of way. Both Rebecca and Cloe makes my

heart skip a beat every time the say mommy. God has truly blessed my husband John and I.

As a young girl I played softball, making sports my passion. I loved the fields. Playing first base,

second base, and pitching. The hitting of the ball and running around that dirt diamond shaped field. The

bruises, scrapes, and the friends. I enjoyed softball as a young girl, so now I gladly pass that passion for it

on to my oldest daughter Rebecca. I love sitting behind the fence with the other parents cheering on the

girls. The long weekends at softball tournaments, the sound of the crowds, and the girls yelling in the

dugout. It brings back so many memories. I love watching Rebecca throw a forty mile an hour fast ball. It

feels my with such pleasure, because I know she has the same passion of the game as I did at her age.

The desire for Education is a passion of mine. In June 1997, I graduated from North Central High

School. Not knowing what I know now, I decided to take as year off. Big mistake on my part. I have been

out of school for fourteen years now, I have just

    I play first base and pitcher. I think they're fun. They are positions that keep me on my toes. This year I hit 5 homeruns and 2 grand slam. What is a home run? A home run is when you are batting and you hit one over the fence or are able to get around the bases in time before the other team players get you out.…

The person who has changed my life in the past couple years was my softball coach. She had us all work as hard as we could everyday.

    Baseball Memoir

    “GET HOME!!! GET HOME!!!” Those were the words my dad would yell from the third base coach’s box as I passed him rounding third! Baseball to me is more than just a game! Baseball is a passion, fueled by the desire to succeed, the passion to overcome, and the dedication to be great. A baseball field to me is like a stage is to a dancer or an open road for a biker; I just love every aspect of this amazing sport. It’s the field with its seemingly unfair depth, its soft green grass and the infamous red dirt, that make me have the passion for the game like my father did as a child. My life seemed to be limitless when I was in between that fence. Taking cuts on the tee, putting together a pickup game that didn’t matter who won or lost, or even on those days that practice seemed to never end, I still had the love for the game.…

    “Just try it.” These were the words that my dad used to encourage me to try baseball. Before this moment, soccer was the only sport I played. Since I could remember, I have always enjoyed playing soccer; attending practices of my local recreational team . As a kid at the age of 7, I loved the rush of joining the kids from both teams to recklessly chase the same ball looking like a pack of headless chickens. I felt the parents had as much fun watching the game as the kids did playing the game. Despite my enjoyment of playing soccer, I was curious to find out if I would like any other sport.…

    I started playing softball in fifth grade,and I loved it all with a burning passion; however I quit my senior year. It was stressful mentally, physically, and emotionally. It began to take a real toll on me. I have the body of a ninety year old as it is, and all of the endless drills were not doing my body any justice. The late nights of coming home after a game and having to eat, shower, and do homework made me extremely tired the next day. Yes, it’s a part of it, but it’s not something I wanted to continue doing.…

    The day I hit the field it's like no other feeling. I take out my sunflower seeds and begin crunching. The feeling of sliding in soft dirt, the freshly cut grass and the newly raked field. Also making amazing plays in the outfield. Crowds cheering my name,making chants and cheers. When it gets down to the wire and everyone goes quiet then I get the game winning hit to seal the deal. This I believe: baseball.…

    From the chalked up dirt to the green grass in the outfield the softball field is where I always want to be. Other people see it as a sport, but it is much more than that. Softball to me is an escape and every time I step on that field I feel as if I belong. In school everyone is so quick to judge you making you feel like you don’t belong. However on the field you have a team that treats each other as a family. Everyone shares the same love for the game, which makes playing 10 times more fun.…

    In a small, rural town called Arlington in Vermont, playing sports was a normal thing to do. It was nothing special it was just a way to waste time. There were only three sports you could play, soccer, basketball, and baseball. No football, hockey, etc. For me though, I loved the smell of the fresh grass when I was on the soccer field and the basketball courts. I loved when my parents watched me from the sideline and I could hear them cheering me on. It was just the best feeling to have. As I grew up in Vermont I never really knew how a big town or city felt like being in. I was in a school with only 400 kids in the whole high school! There was no loud traffic or packed mall, it was just farms and the pond. You had to make your own fun out of things. That’s why I loved to play sports.…
