At practice one day I was pitching well I was throwing strikes but not every time. When I threw, I threw fast but not very fast. Then my coach said do you want to try this new windup I said yes. So then I tried it, it worked very well and I liked it a lot. Pretty much every pitch I threw strikes and I could throw faster.

For batting I could bat pretty well I just wanted to hit the ball farther . I tried the new stance it worked a lot more I can hit the ball farther now. I am happy I learned the new batting stance and pitching windup.

When I went to my old school in Indiana, there were some mean girls that would make fun of me in school. One day in the cafeteria, when I sat down at the lunch table, one of the girls started asking me questions, like, Ew! Why did you get a salad for lunch?!? , and, What are you going to do at recess, read? (You can probably see that I am not liking these questions. I could tell this wasn’t going to be a very fun lunch.

When lunch was over, I took my book back to the classroom (because I didn’t want them to make fun of me for reading) and then I went outside. I went over to my friend Allison and asked her what I should do about the girls. Then she said to me, Don’t think about what they think about you, think about what I think about you. I think great thoughts about you. You see, if you think about them all the time, they get what they want: the world revolves around them.

I was shocked when Allison said that! I never knew that was how she ignored them. (Yes, she got bullied too).

This changed my life because now I know that if anybody is mean to me, I just have to remember that the world will revolve around them if I think about them all the time, which is exactly what I don’t want.

Thank you, Allison. You have made a very, very, very big change in my life. I will always remember it.

When I was four I started playing hockey, two years later I was pretty good at skating and every game I would worry about my skating because I wanted to be really fast. That season I worried a lot about my skating and my stick would never handle the puck (I never have time to because I trying not to fall).

One day coaches told me to come and talk to him, He told me don’t worry about your skating worry about the puck. . That day on, I handled the puck every game. Last season I scored 24 goals! But although I still fall, I’m a lot better.

One day I was very upset. I signed up for a theatre class that was actually doing a play! It was an actual play (I mean the real thing) in front of everyone’s moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandmas, grandpas, neighbors, and so on

Then my mom came in my room and said you’re very brave you can do this. You’re a great actor. Every singer or actor gets stage fright and if you get scared just remember I’ll be there.

2 weeks later.
It was a happy day for a play I sung my solo without even being scared and I even received flowers afterward. Then I realized how can I be scared when I make the people watching so happy! What my mom told me changed my life. It was the best advice I’ve received!

During the summer, I played softball. My team name was called the Brewers. I played at the Lydell School.

One game I was up to bat and, the other team gave me a pitch I swung and I missed. The next pitch was a strike but I thought it was a ball. The next one I thought was good and I swung and I got out.

I walked back to my team and they gave me a high five and said nice try. My dad pulled me over and was talking to me about me hitting the ball. He said, watch the ball hit the bat a couple of times. After that great advice, I did not strike out again.
