“Strike three, you’re out!” yelled my coach as the ball whipped past the plate. It was the last day of Softball tryouts my sophomore year, and I had struck out at every at bat. I walked back to the dugout with a feeling of complete disappointment, dragging my bat along the dirt. Like my Papa always said, “failure is the first step to success.” I kept wishing he was there with me in that moment to tell me all of the things that kept me motivated and helped me know what to do in these situations. He

You Got This “HERE WE GO HAYLEE!” was all I could hear as I was standing on the pitching mound exasperated. I had just walked two girls in a row and hit the next in the ankle.

The first time I played softball we were at the Phenix City softball ball field and I had to learn to not give up on something I really wanted to do. So the first time I stepped on the field all I could do was see the sun and smell the oxygen. The next day I hit the ball for the first time ever and I was so ecstatic. My mom and coach were so surprised and happy that I need that with only a couple minutes of practice. After I hit that ball I ran all 5 bases, my coach was so happy for me. It is not

Have you ever had to play a weekend softball tournament in just one day? My team had to play an entire softball tournament in one day due to rain delays. We had to play four games that day.

With legends of gold and great wealth, more and more Spanish explorers launched expeditions to what is now the American southwestern region as well as Florida. Map 1 demonstrates the exploration and colonization efforts that took place in the North America from the middle of the 16th century until 1675.
