Ever felt like you don't belong?

When I was in the 6th grade, I did a huge report and presentation about Babe Ruth.⁠⁠

It was my first year in the "Gifted and Talented" class, and my very first research paper.⁠⁠

I remember my teacher ripped up my poor attempt at a bibliography in front of the whole class...⁠⁠

I was mortified.⁠⁠

I felt like I didn't belong there.⁠⁠

I cried at my desk, fumbling through my index cards of notes when I came across his words...⁠⁠

"Every strike brings me closer to the next home run."⁠⁠

I wiped my face and nervously picked up my pencil.⁠⁠

I was determined to knock this project out of the park... and I did!⁠⁠

WHY do I share that with you today?⁠⁠

Because I want you to try... and try again.⁠⁠

That idea, that goal, that dream...

Try again, friend!⁠⁠

I'm rootin' for you. ⁠⁠😘

xoxo,
Kat
