It is so easy and yet so hard to hit a curve ball.

It is ironic how life can be with all it's many mysteries. It can give us some of the greatest times of our lives, but sometimes give us an unexpected curve ball that can take a turn for the worse. This curve ball can sometimes hit so hard that we didn't even see coming. It can be fast enough that we don't even try to swing the bat thus missing the opportunity to TRY to fight back.

No matter what we feel, and no matter what people say or do, we must always swing so that we don't miss the opportunity of trying.

I am Tee-J Valdez. A Filipino Asia going to college at BYU-I fighting those random curve balls every day. We must not give up, because if we give up, we will eventually strike out. We will hit that homer, where the ball will fly free from tyranny, oppression, opposition and the agonies we feel. The ball will fly to heights that birds can only reach. A height that we can all attain!
