Jaqueline Hiracheta's Life And Accomplishments
Growing up, Jaqueline Hiracheta was raised in the Mexican American fashion. Early on, she was taught that school was a top priority and education was everything. Being the youngest of eight, things have not always been the easiest for her. She is sometimes compared to everyone else, so more effort is needed since the bar is raised high.

    As her childhood moved on, so did softball. Each weekend, she was taken to a different part of country for a national tournament. In 1995, Jennie’s ASA team took home the fourteen and under crown. She loved winning, and she tried her hardest even as a fourteen year old. When she was fifteen, she started to think about her dreams as any other teenager would. She rooted for the USA softball team as it rolled to Olympic gold in Atlanta.

    I must always be very responsible and well rounded to keep up with school, homework, practice, my social life, and my family. As exhausting as it is to stay fully devoted to this game there are many rewards. Softball has taught me about several valuable life lessons that will follow me through the rest of my life which include; teamwork, perseverance, responsibility, good sportsmanship, determination, faith, friendship, love, and so much more. Although I am very thankful for now possessing these qualities, the biggest way my dedication to softball would give back to me is by landing me a scholarship to play softball at a college. To be able to play at college level in a sport I have dedicated my whole life and worked so hard at would be a dream come true and such an accomplishment to know that I have finally made it. Through all the sweat, blood, and tears. The scorching heat, or the freezing cold, or the endless hours of practicing. It will have all been worth it in the end because I ended up exactly where I’ve always wanted to be; which is on a college softball field. I can just imagine it now. All the cheering fans and the television broadcasters as they film the game live for all to see on ESPN; the bright sun that beats down on us as we stand on the brown dirt and green…

    As early as the third grade, I remember being involved in sports. Whether it was volleyball, basketball, or dance I have been given the privilege to play on many teams. The life of a young athlete is great, however, it can become very stressful. At all ages an athlete is forced to cope with school, sports, and a social life. Along with all of that, athletes are expected to deal with extra stress and even stricter rules. Over the years I have realized all student-athletes are treated differently and are held to a higher standard. (1)…
