One event that changed my life was when my little league baseball team won the championship. This event stands out in my mind the most. It was my first season in the bronco league and I was one of the younger kids on the team. I was surrounded by kids who were two even three years older than I was. This made me very uncomfortable at such a young age.
I started the season with a bad attitude thinking I wasn't going to get any playing time. At first I maybe got an inning at the end of the game when we were slaughtering teams. But as the season progressed I proved myself in practice and started to gain the older players approval. I started to like going to baseball games instead of dreading them. I started to make friends and baseball ended up becoming a escape away from my other friends.

My teams was very talented and we started to climb the division leader boards and playoffs were around the corner. By this time I worked my way up through the pitching rotation to the starting pitcher. I was the only 13 year old on the field when we started the division playoffs. We eventually made it to the championship game after 2 weeks of playoff games. We ended up winning by 3 runs in the last inning. By time i had developed a very strong bond with my other teammates. I felt like they could read my mind because we worked so well together through the playoff series.

At the beginning of my baseball season I wanted to quit so bad because I thought I wouldn't play at all. I stuck through hoping that things would get better. By the end of the season I made so many new friends. This changed me because now I am not afraid to meet new people.
