In 2011, I was part of a baseball team that was put together from scratch. We had to quickly prepare for the 13 year old Babe Ruth World Series that we were hosting in Clifton Park that August. At the time, I knew very few kids on the team but what I did know was that the third baseman was first-cousins with the head coach. He also knew and proved that he was the best player on the team. For privacy and consent discrepancies I will call him Mark.
In the essay, “College Consumerism Run Amok” describes the views of Kevin Carey on how he views secondary education. Kevin Carey explains how the price of a college tuition have risen across the United States. His first point describes that students are asking for to many “creature comforts” and college oblige them causing tuition to skyrocket.

I was the only first base they had so i had to or we had to forfeit. In the second game I was the only base hit and i still got hits in the other games. Jackie Still tried his hardest in everything he did even though it was hard. We came in second over all that day. When i could i still went and watched their games and
Baseball is my favorite sport and I had a lot of memories. I have been playing baseball for 5 years. 3 years ago I was on the Serra Minor Giants and we were playing a game against the Minor Pirates. We were losing 8 - 5 and the bases were loaded. One of my teammates was batting, he stepped into the batter 's box about to take a swing.
It was by far the nicest fields I have ever played on. The outfield grass was as green as it can get and the infield was perfectly raked. We walked into the dugouts which were long with a bench going through it. We hung our bags on the fence and went onto the outfield and started throwing. The outfield grass was wet and soft as I felt it with my hand.
In 1998, my family and I made it a goal to visit every stadium in Major League Baseball. What started out as trip to Jacobs Field (called Progressive Field nowadays) in Cleveland, Ohio turned into the
A sharp sense of disappointment surged through me as my coach uttered the phrase I had been dreading to hear: "I 'm sorry, but Caleb is our starting second baseman this year." After riding the bench the previous season, I wanted nothing more than for this season to be different. The thought of spending the next three months rotting on the bench filled me with despair, and it seemed I was bound to that fate again. I needed to change his mind. I spent the following practices running harder, taking more ground balls, and spending more time in the cage than anyone else, but to no avail.
In the past, the face of baseball was scattered but pretty easy to find. We’ll start this in the ‘90s—because that’s when I was born, so yes I’m a millennial and like the bat-flip—but I’ll talk about that later. Let’s start in the ‘90s where baseball was quote, unquote reborn with Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire hitting a homerun every other time they stepped to the plate.
There are many things in my life that interest and excite me very much. Through all of these exciting things, baseball seems to stick out to me the most. It may be basic or very boring to many people, but to me it’s special in many ways. Ever since I was about two years old, I’ve played baseball. With these many years, I’ve faced many challenges, but I’ve had many achievements as well.
Baseball I walk my way over to the field and I see my friends Connor and Logan and also someone that I would end up now being best friends with, Dom. The coaches of the were Jeff George Connor's Dad. A stocky guy about six feet tall with a killer mustache the head coach of the team. I stepped in the cage and Doug the other coach Dom's dad. He was over six foot was very experienced when it comes to baseball and coaching, I was happy he was my coach
It was a hot, summer day when there was the biggest and most important softball game of the year. It took place in Moville, Iowa. This softball game determined whether we go to Des Moines to play for state or not. We were getting ready for the game, up at the field, right next to Co-Op, the swimming pool, and the city park right on the highway.
In the beginning, and the end of change, things in life isn 't what to be seen in the face of reality. this is the story of a Hero, a Hero of Change. this Hero was born in Kaido, Tokyo, Japan in 1524. However, the original time period was 1989, but due to supernatural events, parts of Japan and other places was written into the past.

Service learning is key to understanding a multitude of people and personalities. The American Red Cross is the wonderful organization where I get to serve my community and gain experience applicable to my future career. I will assist in blood drives, spread community preparedness, and educate others. Clara Barton founded the organization in the spring of 1881. During the infancy of the program, the main duties were disaster relief, restoring peace, and being a liaison between the American military and others.
I had just knocked in two RBI (run batted in). From the chalked-up dirt to the fresh cut grass, a softball field is always a place I love to be. No matter where I am in life I can always rely on softball to make me feel better. I started this physical activity in 5th grade. I found out that I love the sport and was exceptional at it.
I always hated helping other people because I never thought it would help me go farther than where I was. Although later in life I learned how to help others and that if you help others it does come back just in a different way. I have learned the joy of helping others so and that if I was in the same situation somebody would help me. Also after they help me I hope I can go help somebody else. That is what I think about that topic so I will go to the next.
