"Balancing baseball and school has taught me that effort must be equal in both to succeed. On the field, one of my biggest challenges has been handling failure when the pressure is high. Being on the mound and not playing my best used to get in my head, but I've learned that mistakes are inevitable and don't define me. In school, taking five AP classes has pushed me more than I expected, with long nights of homework and studying. On top of that, thinking about the future and college brings its own stress. Even with all the challenges, I've learned that resilience, focus and the ability to keep moving forward are what matter most."
