Recently I have learned the importance of doing something for others even if it doesn't really benefit myself. A few days ago I was asked to join the softball team at my school. We barely had enough girls to start a team and as the season went on, more and more girls got injured causing the team and coaches to scramble to find replacements. To be honest, joining the softball team was the last thing I wanted to do, considering I have never even played before. It is not that I feel that my team will patronize me, but rather the fact that I do not have any idea how to play! As I thought about it though, the idea started to sound more and more intriguing. I realized even if I were horrible, and we lost, it would be better than having to forfeit. So, I said I would do it. I was given every part of the uniform and did not have to pay for any of it. So, I have come to the realization that blessing other people will benefit you more than you think. I am going to bless my team and my coaches by helping them out even though playing softball is not my first choice. I know that I am going to have a lot of fun, even if I am not that good. I find myself excited to go to practice on Monday and to have the opportunity to learn something new. Whether I am good at softball or terrible at it, I am going to learn a lot, have fun and bless the people around me!
