I am a creature of habit; big changes scare me. This is something that has really dominated my personality for the past couple of years. When I was going into the eighth grade, I moved from Richmond, Virginia to Phoenix, Arizona, a place where no one knew who I was and very few were willing to try and figure me out. I had lived my entire life in Richmond and was very unwilling to move. I think this is where my personality really began to evolve. I went through a phase where I was very closed off to everything and unwilling to try new things. Three years after this original move, I moved from Phoenix to Columbus, Ohio.

For softball, I am a lot louder and significantly more confident. I think I am this way because softball has been something that has been a constant throughout my entire life. Two songs that show this are “My House” by Flo Rida and “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy. In softball, you have a song that is played when you walk out to the plate to hit or when you are a pitcher and you walk out to the mound to warm up. Both of these songs have been my walk out songs and for me; they give me a lot of confidence when I am getting ready to play. For “Centuries” it is the line “you will remember me for centuries” that really gets me pumped up for games and reminds me that I have the talent to do well, no matter how badly my warm-ups or my week has gone. As for the song “My House” it really has a lot more meaning to me as a sophomore than it would have as a freshman. It reminds me that I am here to play for Holy Cross and not for my self. It really brings out the mental toughness that I have because it tells me to defend my school and my teammates. Another song that has meant a lot to my softball career is the song “Centerfield” by John Fogerty. What this shows about my personality is that I don’t like to give up. I walked onto the softball team with this same desire to make the team and play in every single game. Part of my personality is the fact that I like to win. I enjoy watching my teammates and the team as a whole succeed and when that happens it really brightens the spirits of everyone around
