Blog #1: Six-Word Memoir

Baseball games to barks and walks

        Since I was six years old, I played baseball every single year (through college) until I was 20 years old. Through that period, apart from my family and friends, baseball is what truly brought joy to my life and it was something I grew extremely passionate about. Baseball was my outlet to any stress I was feeling in my life and whenever I was at practice or at a game, I was always having a great time with my teammates while not worrying about anything else in my life.

        I stopped playing baseball in 2014 and it was difficult for me to walk away from a sport that I grew so passionately about throughout my childhood, but it was not long for a new source of happiness to enter my life. In 2016, my family decided to rescue a 10-month-old puppy from the animal shelter and he brought instant joy into my life. I had never had a dog as a pet before that so I had a lot to learn about the responsibility and care for owning a dog. My dog, Baxter, brings me so much happiness regardless of me not playing baseball anymore.
