Who am I?

“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” –unknown
 Who am I? I am Morgan George, my parents are Patrick and Valerie. They are the best parents in the world and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.  My mom and dad are supportive of everything I do, and support every decision I make.  I have three sisters; Lindsay, Krysta, and Jeanette. Lindsay is ten years older than me and is married to Brian Pape. They live in Lincoln, Nebraska. Krysta is eight years older than me and is in a relationship with Ian Ohem.  They travel all over the world and do random stuff that entertains them. Jeanette is the sister that is closest to my age by four years. She is dating Sam Parker. And they are moving to Florida in January. Family is a big part of who I am. They are always going to be there for me no matter what, and I think that a really big part that makes people who they are.
 I am a softball player and also do track. Sports keep me busy and also push me to do better. Softball is my main sport I play. I play in the summer and the fall, and it is very, very time consuming.  When I play softball in the summer it’s mainly to get better and to have fun. During the fall it’s a different story.  In fall ball it’s much more competitive and a lot more stressful. Even thought our team has ups and downs we still manage to have a good time.  Our team gets along great. We have our own little family, and I love it. We are always going to be there for each other and we help each other with personal problems.   Our team gets stronger and stronger every single time were together. Having a new coach two out of the three years makes it a challenge as well.  Our coach is like a father to us. He cares about each and every one of us. Not as a team mate, but also as an individual.  We butt heads but it’s what makes us stronger.  Track is a different sport that I also love to participate in.  Even though it’s a team sport, I do an individual event. I do high jump. Having an individual event separates it from the way I feel about softball. In high jump, it’s just me.  It’s my time to help improve myself and push myself.  I look at it in a different perspective.
I like to refer back to the quote that I have at the top of this post. It’s a quote that I think fits every person and is also true to the T. Nobody has a perfect life, and everybody makes mistakes. It’s the fact that you have to look beyond all that to make you happy. You can’t let little things bother you and stop you from anything. To some, if you let those little things bother you, you can actually hurt yourself and the people you love. You will end up digging yourself into a bigger hole than what you already feel. People may not think about it much, but there are people all around you that want you to be happy. They love to see your smile, and they wouldn’t want anything but your happiness. One of the hardest things is that you can’t let the people that you may not get along well with, or let the things that you don’t get your way get you down. You have to control your happiness. You and only you have that power.  I think of all the friends I have, the family I have, and my teammates. They don’t like it when I’m not happy. Who wants to be around someone who is going to put you in a bad mood? There is so much more to life than looking back at your mistakes. You have to move forward and think towards the future.
I take all of these things that I have mentioned as a part of who I am. There is always more than meets the eye to every person. Some things you may not know and some that you may think you know, but until you completely know someone you have no idea who they really are. Everyone is a different individual. There are so many things that make up a person and I am proud of the fact that this is who I am.
