After gathering enough willpower, I arose and hobbled over to the bench, feeling ashamed at my inability to fend for my own team.

Seventy-three years ago, on July 4th, a man whose skillset lied on the baseball field, much rather than in speechmaking, delivered one of the most effective and inspiring speeches of all time. His name was Lou Gehrig, and in the matter of approximately two minutes, he managed to reflect not only his own thoughts of his disease and retirement from baseball, but also the thoughts and mindsets of his fans and the American people during the 1930s.

There comes a time in everyone's life when they will want to give up. It seems to be easier to give up rather than persevere through any tough obstacles that throws at you. There are three quotes from three books that demonstrates perseverance in the books called “The Lost boys”, “Mother to Son”, and “Saudi Arabia's Freedom Riders”. The first quote that demonstrates perseverance is from the book “Mother to Son”. This lady gave advice to her son about life.

“If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body” (Roberto Clemente). Roberto Clemente was a bad baseball player, a mad baseball player, and a sad baseball player, but became a great legend in the baseball world. Roberto Clemente had done some things that have never been done, used persisting as a habit of mind to innovate to overcome his home and his sports effect, and illuminated the world by his abilities.

He probably had to try really hard when he was a good football player in the NFL and wanted to be a player in the MLB. He set his goal high, practiced and practiced and didn’t stop until he got to his goal. He also is one of the few rare players

I was born in Independence, MO on November 14, 1999. I was born into a sports family. My great grandpa and grandpa started teaching me baseball as soon as I could hold one. My great grandma and grandpa babysat me while my Mom was at work. He would sit on the floor and roll the ball to me. When it got warmer, we would go outside and play on his deck. I have loved baseball ever since. Sports have always been my passion. I play baseball and basketball. I started playing basketball my freshman year of high school and started playing baseball as soon as I was ready. There was never a time in my life where I wanted to stop playing sports, never once.
