I’ve had to overcome my obstacles and am still working on challenges. I have a severe speech impediment, ADHD, and a learning disability. My parents have worked really hard to help me this far by placing me in programs and private therapists. Because of my challenges, it’s been difficult socially and academically. I’m always worried about what people will think and say when I speak. I’m afraid of being teased and bullied. Baseball is my outlet, passion, and reason for pushing forward. I am a great baseball player, and I hope that when people look at me, they see an awesome player, not a kid with challenges. As one coach said, “Let your game speak for you,” and I try my best to do that.
