What was your first experience with the game of baseball?

From a young age I was always drawn to baseball. At the age of 8, I participated in my first baseball team. In my home town baseball is a big sport. Most of the boys start playing at a young age. I followed suit and started my baseball career.

Who is your favorite baseball player and why?

My favorite baseball player is currently Jason Hayward. The reason I have him as my favorite player is because I value his discipline as such a young player. Additionally, he is also a very humble player on the field. I value his team sportsmanship, worth ethic, and humbleness.

Tell why serving the community is important to you.

Serving the community is very important to me. I believe that each person has a stake in making their community what it is. As a member of the community I believe I am responsible for making it what I wish it to be. Additionally as a member of the community that serves me, I feel it is my responsibility to return the favor.

Finish this sentence, "If I could change one thing in the world, it would be......"

If I could change one thing in the world, it would be the way we treat each other. I feel that we are cruel and inhuman to the people of this world. If I could change this and make it so that people valued people for who they are i believe that this would make a lasting difference that would change our world for the better.
