Quarter 1 SSR

                   My first quarter SSR was a non-fiction sports book that surprisingly kept me engaged as it was a baseball auto-biography. The author of the book, Derek Jeter, summarized his path to the MLB with a well-written timeline from his transition from a scrub a legend. This book is great for any young athlete because it revolves around common struggles and doubts they come across in any sport, playing a position you do not like can be an example. Throughout the book, Jeter stresses to never give up. When Jeter was in school, he had always dreamed of being a Major League Baseball player and his peers never failed to mock him. Jeter found the courage to prove them wrong when he signed a contract with the New York Yankees and eventually became the starting shortstop. He was a great fielder and amazing contact hitter, he could do everything. Five years ago, Derek Jeter distressingly announced his retirement and is now a legend with five rings.
