Jewish Stories to Build Persistence – CLICK TO COMMENT

By Flora Tawil One day I joined a softball league. This league had games at least once a week, maybe even twice. I was not very good at softball. I am not good at any sport for that matter. I never hit or caught the ball once. One game it was my turn to bat. I went up to the plate as nervous as always. I kept my eye on the ball the whole time and suddenly I hit it. I ran to first base, then second, and I was safe. My whole team was cheering for me. It was one of the proudest moments. This helped me overcome my fear of embarrassment and learned softball too.
