What changed my life? Not really, but maybe


             Disappointment! Dejection! Sadness! All these combined helped me in the most important decision of my life. Today I"m going to talk about the most shaping event of my life. The most shaping event of my life was when I played in the High School baseball state tournament this past summer. Specifically, I"m going to tel you what the most shaping event was, how it changed me, and how I grew from it.
             My dream ever since was a little tike was to be a college football player at the University of Ohio State. As my senior year of high school began, that dream that I had was in the process of coming true. As Ohio State was in the process of winning their 1st National Championship in 34 year, they were also recruiting me. No they weren't recruiting me as a quarterback, which I received All-Ohio at, they were recruiting me as a punter. After my football season ended, I was offered a possible three-quarters ride. I would have to walk-on and if I made the team , then there was a possibility that I could receive my final three years of eligibility under scholarship. As I traveled through basketball season and into baseball season I was an Ohio State Buckeye. However, baseball season would give me a new frame of mind. A baseball season that would end at the state tournament, which would be the most shaping event of my life. .
             As I led my baseball team through the sectional, districts, regional, and into the state tournament, I was still a Buckeye. During the week of the State tournament, I received 1st team All-Ohio as a pitcher and received several other awards, which meant a lot to me, but would never make me change my mind of going to Ohio State. However, the awards wouldn't, but the state tournament game would. Throughout the entire year I had an e.r.a. below 1 and was 9-0 on the mound. However, I would get shelled at state. I gave up four runs and only lasted 2 1/3 innings. A week later I made my official announcement on where I was attending and it wasn't Ohio State, it was Marietta college.
