I am writing about baseball right now because my mom is kicking me off of my baseball team i am on right now (The Danville Hoots) because i had a D in english. Baseball is my life and i do not want to lose it. Last year I "played" for Alameda I put quotes around played because i never played. I was a Red Shirt.
A Red Shirt is a high-school or college athlete kept out of competition for one year to develop skills and (not in my case) extend eligibility. As i was saying i was Red Shirted last year. It was horrible. Going to practice almost everyday just to practice nothing to look forward to. I was allowed to go to the game but i would not get any playing time so there was no point. I ended up practicing for the whole year hoping to get a little bit of playing time but that never happened. The season ended and i started playing Babe Ruth.
I honestly think babe ruth is a joke. I thought it was a pointless season but i got some practice in during the games. I also played in a summer league where i played the whole time in all the games. That was because it was a wreck league and i was one of the best on the team.
Then comes this fall. I am playing for a team called the Danville Hoots. We are a traveling team and we are going to Southern California for a couple tournaments this fall. I was so excited to play in these tournaments. I was lifting weights, doing sprints, and all other types of conditioning to get in shape for this team.
The tournaments are coming up and today my mom calls me and tells me, "You can not play for the Hoots anymore because you have a D in english." I was of course upset to hear this considering i was playing on a team better than Alameda High's. I was also devastated to learn i had a D in english. Now i am typing this and all i can do is hope that my mom will listen to me and let me play on the baseball team. If she does i will be so happy and definitely pull my grades up to par.

Still on the topic of paragraphs: I see the division you've made here and it's appropriate...but I definitely think that your first paragraph can be broken down still further...I see at least two and maybe three paragraphs all inside that one! Try one more time...?
