Recommended: Personal narrative about softball

Throughout my time in high school I have participated in numerous activities from sports to volunteer work to actual work. Sports was one of my favorite extracurricular activities that came after school because it was a time for me and my teammates to really create that bond between each of us and become like a family. I will play softball throughout all four years of high school. Last year, we made it to the playoffs. Being one of the older girls on the team I knew I needed to get my teammates excited so we could win by talking to the girls and playing music on the way to our game.

Last year I got my first job in retail. Typically, I would check people out or do inventories. I really enjoyed the job, but it became too much between my school work and my family. I worked there for about seven months and then I decided to end my time there. A few months later, I got a new job being a nanny for family with two kids. Still to this day, I still work for the same family. I really enjoy being a nanny. On the side of being a nanny, I do side jobs working as a babysitter. I love being a babysitter and helping out families who need me. I help the children with their homework, make them dinner, play with them, and more. I love working with children because of how fun and enjoyable it is. Volunteering opportunities are the ones that make me who I am. I love being apart of my softball team and working, but volunteering really makes me the happiest. I know that what I am doing is going to a good cause and is going to help good
