My Accomplishment
My goal was to be a better baseball player by catching a fly ball. I was
very good at throwing but not very good at catching. I couldn’t catch a
fly ball. A fly ball is a ball that is high up in the air. I thought to myself “I
can’t do it. It’s impossible.” So my papa went to Sports Authority and
bought a baseball bat and a couple of balls. I hit some pretty far but I
was catching bad. Then I started catching fly balls. I felt I was giving
effort and I was. Then one day I caught 15 FLY balls in a row. My papa
was really proud of me and I was hitting and catching the ball very good
now. That is how I accomplished my goal of being a better baseball
player.
