Being apart of a team is an amazing feeling. Especially going to college, because you automatically go into school having a support system. People who are always there for you and always have got your back no matter what.

Playing softball in college was something that I wasn't going to do, I hadn't figured it out yet. But once I decided that I couldn't give up the sport I spent my whole life playing I picked a school where I felt I would fit in.

The school I'm at now has a team filled with amazing girls. I immediately felt like I belonged and they all made me feel welcome as a freshman. I look up to my captains and know that I can talk to them about anything at any given moment.

My best friends in college, as a freshman (and I'm sure for the next three years), are on the softball team. So I am always with them... What's better than spending every day with your closest friends?

Whether we're on the field or not, I can always lean on my team with everyday obstacles. And when we are on the field, we always have fun and I look forward going to practices and games because I know I will have fun even though I may be sore.

Being apart of a team is beneficial to you because not only will you make friends that last a lifetime, you will make memories that will stick with you forever.
