#29 My greatest fear is never being able to play sports ever
again. I am scarred that the doctor is going to tell me that I have to stop
playing sports because of my compartment syndrome and I know I will not be able
to give that up. Sports have been such an important part of my life. Sports
have made me who I am today and I am not ready to give that up yet. Being an
athlete has made me the dedicated and self-motivated person I am today and my
coaches and teammates are apart of a family that I will never forget about.
#26 when I work I love the result but I enjoy the process
because knowing what I have over came and how hard I worked for the result
feels even better knowing that I had to work for it and the feeling wouldn’t be
the same if I didn’t have to go through a process and was just handed it to me.
I feel better about myself knowing that I overcame a difficult task.. For
example I feel better about my self being able to push myself and run three
miles and not just the result of how in shape I will be.
#20 someone that really inspires me is my softball coach
Frank and his wife Gina Lieneck. Frank and Gina have two daughters Danyelle and
Brianna. The family took their boat out one afternoon in 2005 and was hit by
another man driving his boat intoxicated. All of the family members except
Danyelle were thrown into the water unconscious and Danyelle saved her mom and
dad by pulling them out of the water and onto the boat. Unfortunately Brianna
was hit straight on by the boat and was immediately dead. Brianna was a 12-year-old
softball player who did not deserve for her life to end so early. Frank and
Gina both inspire me so much because even though they don’t have a daughter who
plays softball anymore they still coach a competitive softball team and run an
indoor softball arena. It must be hard watching the girls on the field knowing
that Brianna should be out their also but they do it because they love it and
they know it would make Brianna happy. Our softball team dedicates every game
to Brianna and even to this day as I am in college I play in memory of Brianna.
This family does everything for everyone and they worked so hard to pass the
law that states that driving a boat under any influence should be illegal the
law was finally passed and they named it “Brianna’s law”.
