My little brother's birth made me happy. Before he was born, my family was always stressed. Now that he is here, he has brought our family together. He is only about to be a year old, but this year, he has helped us all feel less stressed. I could be having the worst day ever, and when I come home to see him, it instantly makes my day better. The way he will ¨talk¨ to you and tell you all these things makes you forget about everything. Being with my brother makes me feel so in the moment. Honestly, whenever I'm with him I feel lost in the moment. Him and my other brothers are the best thing that has happened to me. All of my brothers have a very special place in my heart.

Seeing my little brother start school was a cool experience. It made me realize all of my siblings are growing up. It was cool to watch him make friends. He is learning so much in school. Every day when he comes home he has something new to tell me about from school. I am so grateful that he got a better education than I did at his age. My school wasn't terrible but it also wasn't good. It was sad to be home alone on the days he was at school. I know it for the better. I know that his school is going to help him become the smartest little boy ever.

Joining my new travel ball team was another bittersweet moment. I was happy to leave my old team. Also sad at the same time. My new team is actually at my level and pushes me to be better. Even though it is a lot harder it is still a better team. The girls are nice and the coaches push you your hardest. Leaving my old team was tough. I loved the girls and the coaches a lot but I still feel the same for my new team. I am very excited about all the plans my new team has for me. I know that this move was for the better

Going to PGF for the first time was a learning experience. PGF is a really important softball tournament for teams all over the world to play. They also get an opportunity to get recruited by the best schools. PGF was tough mentally because it was much harder than other tournaments. Going made me realize I had a lot of work to do. It also opened my eyes to how hard it is to play softball at a collegiate level. It made me think about whether or not I even wanted to play softball in college. Although my first time there wasn't the best, I was still happy I went. It was still a lot of fun even though it was challenging at the same time. Im thankful that I got to play in front of coaches from schools all over.

Leaving my old travel ball team was sad but also necessary. My old team just wasn't competitive enough for my skill set. It was sad leaving my team because those girls were the only team in my life that I felt never judged me. I am still in contact with all of those girls. It's not the same as we both have grown in our ways. I still try to talk to them often. Sometimes I still come to watch their games. I do love my new team now. I just don't have the same connection with the girls that I had with my old team. Although this choice was tough at first I don't regret it at all.
