A New Assignment: A New Beggining

When thinking of an event worth of telling, an event that you have in your mind no matter what happens once time goes by, you have to look inside you for answers. There will be times where looking inside you will be a thrill, others, painful. But what really matters is that you should know yourself enough to be able to look inside you and get that event that you have decided for yourself it was worth remembering. Human beings choose when to remember an event, whether for a good or bad reason. No matter how good or bad was that memory, one thing is clear. The event was worth enough for you to remember it. This means it touched you and in some way, changed the way you think of things.
To look inside one's memory can be a challenge. As of now, it has proven difficult to look
for an event that I really think worth of remembering. Of all the possibilities, one does stands
out from the rest. I have been a baseball player my whole life. I see baseball with passion and
I do not allow people to call it as a mere sport. To me, baseball IS LIFE. As I grew into this sport,
I fell in love with it. It all started the normal way, making mistakes, learning from them as
anything in life. The thing is that as years passed, baseball serve me for more than fitness
and enternainment. I saw it as a discipline and since I am a pitcher, as a self-control tool. As
a pitcher, I have control of the game. If I do not pitch, the game does not continue. All of this
can grow to be a responsibility, for you need control of yourself and the things that affect your
day if you are to have a successful life.
And as I find it fun to write about my baseball past and how it affects my future, it is a thrill
to be writing about it in this blog, for I feel I leave a part of me for everyone to read. It seems
awkward but since I see baseball the way I see it, anytime is good to talk about baseball and
how it affects my life.
