Practice

I jumped into the water💧..plop. I wasn't swimming really good to the point where I'm almost drowning. The good part I got the steps of the pool and rested for a bit. The next day, my papa took me to the batting cage in the hotel and practiced with me. He helped me practice my pitching with my left arm. I still didn't know how to do it. "C'mon mija, it's mostly the same thing, just pitching with your left arm." I did the pitching position and pitched the ball. It landed straight into the square of the pitching square. "Yes!" I did it again and again to the middle. I think last time I did it, I was putting too much pressure to myself, but now I can pitch again. My papa figured that when I pitch, my glove will be strapped to my pants, so when I pitch, I get my glove quickly to catch. The only problem I had was how I was going to bat. My papa said in where he heard it, if you have one arm, then you can use a lighter bat, but have to pay a fee. I used my old bat that I had and my papa pitched the first ball. I hold tightly onto my bat and I hit it. "Good job mija, I'm so proud of you!" Papa then hugged me. "Papa, we don't have to worry about the fee, right?" "Nah we don't."
