Busy times

One of my strengths has always been to respond well to pressure. Sometimes I would create the pressure by getting behind a batter in the pitch count. Sometimes I would create the pressure by procrastinating in my school work. While I like that I don’t shy away from pressure, I have gotten smarter in not encouraging it.

With my academic and athletic goals, keeping up (or getting ahead) is the only option. My senior year feels stacked. I think part of it is that this is my last year high school, and my last year being with some of my friends that I have been with since kindergarten. But what is most important to me is that I enjoy it all, and take none of it for granted.

Here are some of the things that are on my mind (in no particular order):

College search
ASB Student Leadership - Commissioner of Athletics
Neighborhood gardening job
Class load peppered with AP courses
Playing for So Cal Dirtbags
Playing for San Diego Halos
Baseball conditioning program at St. Augustine High School
Weekly bullpens sessions with Pt Loma Nazarene College coach Justin James

Last year I went to the Arizona Junior Fall Classic showcase, which was on the same weekend as the Homecoming Dance. I made a promise to myself that I would not miss it again this year. That’s on my mind too.

I wanted to update my profile video. Here is what we taped on August 31st.



Thanks to Travis Wilkie for catching.
