Intro

Steve Jobs once said, "People with passion can change the world for the better." This quote says that those who are passionate about what they do will inspire others to chase after their dreams, work hard, and never give up. Those with passion can change the world for the better by being role models for others and an example to follow. I have two passions that I care very strong about. My greatest passion is by far sports. Sports are something that has been a part of my life since day one. My mom told me that she knew I was going to grow up to be athletic ever since I was in her womb because she said I would kick and kick and never seem to get tired. Sports are something I am a part of every single day and are something I look forward to throughout day. My goal in life is to become a professional baseball, football, or basketball player so one day I'll be able to inspire others by never giving up.

I've been in recreational sports and in school sports since I was very young. The first team I was ever on was a Town 'N Country soccer team in kindergarten, so I was 5 or 6 years old. Ever since then I fell in love with competing and winning, but there was something I for sure did not like doing, losing. Oh, I hate losing. There is nothing, oh nothing, worse than losing... well at least in my opinion. I'd consider the hate I have for losing a passion.

Although sports is one of my passions the one sport I love the most and the one that's most fun is baseball. I have been playing baseball since I was in third grade. I started off in triple AAA and made my way all the way up to what I'm playing right now Seniors baseball. I started playing baseball for Incarnation in 6th grade, and I played for the junior varsity team I ended up winning MVP for that team. I played baseball in 7th grade for the varsity team and won MVP for that as well. I am currently playing for the ICS varsity baseball and hope to do well this season too. I hope to improve my skills in baseball. My all time dream is to become a pro baseball player. Baseball is a sport that can inspire others to work hard and stay focused on your dreams because baseball is one of the hardest sports an takes dedication to become great.

Fishing is something I really love and enjoy. Fishing is something I do when I can't be playing sports. Fishing is a passion I really enjoy. It is something I'm really open about learning new tricks and tips for. I enjoy learning more about catching bigger fish or catching a more numerous amount. Fishing is all based on experience and patience. Without these two traits, 9 out of 10 times you will be unsuccessful and will not catch fish, or at least nothing other than pin fish. There is almost nothing better than the sound of drag ripping when a big fish is on the line. The adrenaline within me every time I hook onto a big fish never gets old. Every single time I land a big fish, a feeling of excitement rushes through my body at what feels like 200 miles per hour. Fishing can impact the world by showing others traits like patience that are required to be successful in fishing and in other things throughout life.

Always remember a passion no matter what it's for can have the power to inspire others in positive ways. I hope I inspired you with my passions and have a passionate day or not the choice is yours.
