Thankful – Jacob Meddings

What I am thankful for is how I was able to grow up playing baseball or sports in general. The reason I am so thankful for being able to play sports is because without playing any I would not have the friends I have today and I would not know the true value of it. I would also not know what it is like to be a leader and work as a team in a sport to try and out perform the other team. Being able to grow up playing sports was great and I and super grate that I was able to tryout for the club teams and make it and also be able to play because my family could afford it. I know how many families are not able to afford putting their kids in club sports even though they are good enough to make the team. Being put in the position that I have to try and make a team where I know nobody on I was able to find and make new friends expanding my comfort zone and not being shy to talk to someone. I am very thankful for my position that I have been put in for sports and my academics. I am thankful for learning to step outside my comfort zone.
