In my high school journey, I proudly secured a spot on the varsity team for all four years. Freshman year, marked by the onset of Covid, curtailed my aspirations for a state title. Despite the setback, I persevered. Sophomore year saw me navigating the dual roles of online schooling and left fielder,culminating in the exhilarating moment of winning my first state championship. Junior year became a defining chapter, contributing significantly to our second state title. Left field remained my domain, and the thrill of success fueled my passion for the game. Then came senior year, a pivotal moment. Opting to step out of my comfort zone, I embraced the challenge of a new position – shortstop, a position unfamiliar to my years on the field. I ended my softball career with my third state championship.
