Softball runs in my blood‚ my dad played softball‚ my uncle played softball‚ my cousins’ play softball; it seemed as though almost every I knew played softball.

And although the friendships on the travel team were amazing‚ I could only imagine

I love my friends and family to death but I am very independant. I hardly ever want help with anything because I want to do it all by myself and I am really

I grew up in a Mexican household filled with family‚ love‚ and warm greetings. We had many traditions within our family. I didn’t always feel like I belonged sometimes or that I was missing something. It could have been that I don’t speak Spanish as well as the rest of my family does or maybe I haven’t visited Mexico as much as they have.

I grew up in a household consumed by sports. At a young age my father drilled things like ESPN‚ football‚ and elbow pads into me and my brother’s heads. Both of my brothers were naturally gifted in athletics. I on the other hand‚ was not. I couldn’t catch a football‚ run a lap‚ or shoot a basket to save my life.
