This weekend my grandparents, my aunt, and her dog came to Baton Rouge to watch Jackson and I's sporting events. My family has always shown great support towards my athletics that seem to consume my time. They tell me all the time that they are proud of me and to keep doing what I'm doing as long as I love what I do. I took that into great consideration as I was standing in the blazing hot sun with cheap sunglasses out in center field. I thought to myself, "Is this what I love to do? Play sports? Spending all day, everyday with the same people? Losing sleep out of stress or excitement for the next game?" 

I answered with yes. Not a lot of people do. Some people would rather play video games, paint, draw, play music, do nothing, or a number of other things. I think that sports are my way to express myself and to develop the best "me," and that a lot of people would agree. Whether you also like to play sports, write, preform on stage, sing, dance, or sculpt, make sure you love what you are doing. If you love what you're doing it will teach you many things. Doing what you love allows you to stop stressing about the tests you have, the boat load of homework, and the amount of sleep you are going to loose. Enjoy yourself but do not take this as an excuse the procrastinate, use it as a tool to cope with stress and anxiety.
