my first summer in the u.s.

This year is my first summer in the United States, and this invitation to the National Baseball showcase can summarize my summer best among a lot of great memories. I went to Duke University for the baseball try out. I tried my best on the field and  performed really well during the game. Afterwards, good news came to me. I got selected to the National Baseball Showcase, and this event is only for the top baseball players all around the United States.  Someone from the staff of the showcase said,  “ You are the first Chinese person to get this invitation.,” I was shocked after I learned this information. I sent this picture to my parents in China as soon as I got it. They gave me great encouragement as feedback. I think the encouragement from my parents is my greatest motivation to move forward because they are the most important people in my life. I’m glad I was invited by the organization, and I’m so excited to play and perform myself at an MLB stadium as the first Chinese baseball player later  this fall.
