Part 1: Stories
My life has been an interesting one. Since I was young, my dream had been to become a professional baseball player. I happened to hatch this dream when I was in middle school as a student. It was my sincere dream that baseball as a sport could give me power and identity. The most significant thing about my dream was that I had a coach who really offered encouragement and support to me. He was instrumental in ensuring that my dream became a reality. During my training sessions, the coach offered enough good tips about the sport and life development skills in general. The truth about the game is what shaped my true understanding of people, the game, and life in general.
Everyone is bound to face difficulties, especially when in a new environment. There were some setbacks such as language barrier which truly affected my communication to the rest of the people I encountered both in class and on the baseball pitch.

This spirit enables me together with my teammates to win our championships in baseball in high school and I was named the most valuable player of the season. My good English enabled me pass my final exams which made me a happy person.
The most important people in my life are my parents and my baseball coach. To begin with, my parents gave birth to me and as such made me exist in this world. They have been my close advisors about life issues and as such, I do respect them for that.
