Personal Narrative
I am in such disbelief of what has just happened, my mind is blank and I am frozen. Do you ever have moments that change the way you think about yourself? Well, I had one of those moments. It was in the summer of 2017, and it was my last softball game of the season. I woke up that morning ready to beat the Presque Isle Panthers, not knowing what was about to happen. Really, I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep, but I did have a desire to win. As I arrived to the fields that morning my coaches gave us the expected pep talk. During warm up time we were not looking good as a team, thankfully, the other team couldn’t see us.

For a minute I stood in disbelief because of how far the ball traveled and I forget to run. Good thing I’m fast. As I’m running I see the center fielder just stop. I thought, what was she doing? I looked and guess what I see? The ball goes over the dang
