At last it's my turn to write about my favorite subject—me! Everyone else has complained about writing their autobiographies, but I've been looking forward to it. It's a chance for me to think about all the things that have happened in my short but incredible life. Some were happy, some were sad, some were funny. For instance, I was almost born in Yankee Statium! Maybe that's why I like softball so much. And look at all the changes my family has been through, starting with my parents' divorce, anding with the time I finally saw my father again, seven years later. See what I mean? My short (so far) but incredible life. Who knows where I'll go from here? There's always the White House...
