As if in slow motion, the baseball rolled off the tip of my glove and smashed itself right into the bridge of my nose.

This club is dedicated to service and volunteering, something I am very passionate about. From the moment I was accepted into the club I knew that it was going to be an enormous goal of mine to obtain a position as a leader. This was no easy feat as only four leaders are chosen every year. The dedication that I poured into the club throughout my junior year shows that goals require a desire that is much deeper than the superficial surface of a person.
