The ball starts from the pitcher. The ball serves as our destiny whether we lose or we win, the ball holds our future.
The pitcher is my father. My father is the one who drives the ball that means he has the responsibility to decide and bring
the family out from the challenges we encounter as a family especially on financial problems. My mother is the catcher as if
that she catches the ball that my father pitches like shes responsible on handling the budget and other needs of the family.
But when the batter bats the ball, it is then that fathers pitch was opposed or that challenges may win against us because
as if the batter represents the people that we met whom they try to oppose us.
And here we comes us. My brothers the first baseman while I am the second and my sister is the third. It is our
child order in the family as if the eldest is the first and the youngest would be the third. We are responsible for stopping the
opponent from saving on the game. Thats why when my fathers pitch go wrong, we are given the next responsibility to
drive the ball preventing the opponent to win. So let us always remember that we have our own responsibilities to make
thats why we should be responsible enough to bring the family to the top!

1. There are many family values we can get from playing baseball. One of the most important is being responsible. It is by
being responsible from the role given to us that if we failed to do our part, the family will also fail. We can also get
trust and teamwork or kapit-bisig. It is by helping one another and working for eachother. Trust is very important
that if we failed to trust on eachothers ability, the homes pillar will also be destroyed because for me, it is trust that
makes a relationship stand strong. And of course, one of the most important is being loyal for the team or the family.
It is by being loyal, we gain trust and unloyal that we deceive trust. Thats why as part of the family, we should learn
to be loyal no matter how many trials we encounter as we live life.
2. There are many health and fitness benefits in playing baseball. One of these is cardiovascular training in which
strengthens heart muscle and improves lung capacity. We can also get strong arms and legs because of swinging
the baseball bat, catching and throwing the ball, and of course moving and running. It can also improve our hand-eye
coordination in pitching and batting, burn calories up to 365 calories in an hour, and stress relief due that it develops
mental focus, concentration and refreshes the mind. It can also sharpen ones mind that make split-seconds
decisions. And of course, overall fitness especially for the youth that said to give them a longer life to live.
