I have played baseball for nearly ten years and I dedicate most of my time to it because I love how it challenges me as a person as well as the sweet feeling of victory. I also enjoy the feeling of working so hard for so long for it to finally pay off during games and bringing my team to the finish line. Other activities I enjoy doing outside of baseball include hiking around Arizona and all of its beautiful trails, spending time and playing games with family and friends, and volunteering with various organizations. I recently went on a vacation with my dad, mom, stepdad, and 2 siblings in the mountains in Colorado. That is my favorite vacation spot in the world. Some of my stronger characteristics are keeping others motivated, being a natural mediator, taking things seriously while also having fun, naturally taking charge, and my flexibility.
