"I don't want to be just a face. I want to go out there and prove something on the field." -Jennie Finch
As a pitcher, every game is a chance to prove the heart that I have for the game. By showing this passion I am able to let my team know that I am there for them and want the win just as much as they do. I am able to prove to myself that I am capable of accomplishing something great. With every strikeout that I contribute to my team I feel a sense of pride. I am proud to be a softball player, I am proud to be a member of this close-knit team, I am proud to be a Roadrunner, I am proud to say that I helped in making the win a reality, and I am proud of myself. I have proved something and left a memory in the minds of my opponents. Now all of this is only involving the game of softball. The same mindset can be applied to my life. With graduation just a month away, I am thinking of what I will accomplish in the near future. I want to be able to look back on my life and see that I proved myself. Not only to other people but to myself. I proved to Kellin Bakurza that I have made the most of what has been given to me and made the most of my talents that I have. I want to leave something behind that people can look at and say, "that is because of Kellin," "Kellin helped in making this possible," and "if it weren't for Kellin I wouldn't be able to do this." Life is meant to be a journey where footprints are left behind leaving a path from where you have been to where you are going. Until my destination is found and the proof is there, this is KB signing out!
