I believe...

The goal of this blog idea is to create a place where students can write about their interests and why they are important to them.  Some examples of things students could write about are sports, food, family members, classroom subjects or upcoming events (science fair, music program, Black History month performance, etc.) 
In my trial blog I will address my history with softball and include several aspects about why I love it and how I have excelled in the sport.



I began  slow-pitch softball during the summer before 4th grade.  I was pretty much a waif and hadn't played any organized sports before.  My first summer I will admit that I was pretty awful. However, the next summer (for whatever reason) I was good! And by good, I mean awesome! :) I started pitching that year; and for the next 10 years! I had no idea I was a sports person, let alone a pitcher. :)
When I began high school slow-pitch softball had to take a back seat to fast-pitch.  Soon I was learning change-ups, rises and drop pitches. By college I was throwing a 60 mph fast ball (and that was even in my acrylic nails stage. ha! :)


Unfortunately, my college pitching career at The College of Wooster was cut short and it was so long ago most of even the archived stats are gone.  However, during my first season (2000-2001) I pitched the college's first ever no-hitter ! Luckily this stat is still posted (and not beaten! :) If you scroll down to the very bottom you'll see what is left to my claim to fame. :)
