My Life is a Dream

      Growing up in a small town with little to do, I never thought that my biggest dream would ever become reality. I have always had a strong passion for playing softball and just like every young athlete, I dreamed of having the opportunity to play Division I college softball. My family was always very supportive when it came to getting me on multiple teams to be able to play all year round. After my parents got divorced when I was in high school, I did not know of any possible way that I was going to be able to fulfill my life-long dream. My mom and grandpa were my heroes; they did not skip a beat when we had opportunities to go to college showcases. Without their unconditional support and sacrifice I would have never been able to achieve my dream of becoming a Division I college softball player.

  3. It's amazing how a strong support system can be so beneficial in one person's life. I'm glad to hear that you have remained motivated to follow your dream into sports as a lot of people give up that dream as they age. Goodluck ;)

  7. My younger sister is also a softball player, she has played her whole life and loves it. She plays for select teams and also plans to play softball at a good school. It's also cool that you said your mom and your grandfather were your heros, those are my two heros as well! I am definately a mama's girl!
