“This project includes mixed media of photography of me in my catching gear, watercolor paints, and markers. I have played baseball since I was three years old. In 2019 my little league major baseball season was cut short, and I missed playing baseball and playing with my friends. When baseball started up again, I was not as good, and I was discouraged playing catcher. All I could do was hope for the new season and that I would improve. I found words that helped motivate me to keep trying and not give up hope of becoming better. This project includes encouraging words that have inspired me to stay motivated in baseball and school and continue trying harder.”
