Squeaky talks about her love of running. It is her special talent and she is proud of all the hard work she has put into being a
better runner. She expresses disdain for people who pretend that they do not practice their talent or skill, and who prefer to have others believe that it is “easy” for them. Write a journal entry about your special talent or skill. Describe how you practice to become better at your skill. Does it come naturally, or do you have to work hard to achieve success? Your response should be about 150 words.
I played softball for 5 years. When I was younger, I loved to throw the ball around with my papa. When I got older, I tried playing softball and it was fun. I made a lot of new friends playing softball. It was fun to play with kids my age. The first thing we practiced was someone throwing the ball to me and me throwing it back to them. A few times when I practiced at home with my mama, I hurt her hand because I threw it so hard. We also practiced grounder ball which was when someone hit the ball and I had to stop it on the ground. We also used a pitching machine when I got bigger to help me practice hitting balls at a faster speed. Lastly, I practiced running all of the bases as fast as I could. If I did not practice as I did, I would have never gotten good at playing softball. Even if something comes naturally, you should always practice because no one is perfect.
