Plunging down while his sensible daddy goes straight to town.” She highlights the importance of perseverance, resilience, and introspection in navigating life's journey, to possibly avoid foolish acts such as Icarus’. Sexton captures the essence of the human experience, where triumphs are often preceded by moments of doubt, pain, and uncertainty. My personal experience has shown me how far my resilience and passion can take me if I focus on the goal. One of the best experiences of resilience in life was my journey through baseball. I wouldn’t be on the high school team if it wasn’t for my father or coaches. This has shown me that during my journey, I don’t have to pursue it alone and get help from the ones closest to me or ones who have gone through the same journey. Baseball has changed my life and without it, I wouldn’t have the same drive or passion as I would
