It was the ending of winter and the snow was vanishing. It kind of sucked because ski season was coming to an end. Although, that also meant that baseball season was right around the corner.

I was faced with a challenge during baseball season my junior year in high school that changed the way that I look at life. As the starting shortstop for my varsity baseball team, I had this cocky swagger about me that let everyone know that I was the starter and that no one could take that honor from me. I believed that I didn’t need to put any effort into anything because everything came easy to me. My mistaken belief and cocky attitude flipped my baseball career upside down. I saw the two scariest words in my first class: “pop quiz.

During my first year of college, I also took part in a year-long charity event.

The death penalty, although an ultimate punishment in America, is a very unfair and unjust punishment. If a person has the right to rape, torture, kidnap and/or murder someone else and infringe on another’s freedom; then they should be justly punished however death is not the answer.

However, we should raise the sentences for these serious crimes, compared to what is currently occurring in today's judicial system.
