Living in El Salvador my whole life revolved around baseball. Baseball defined my life. All I would talk and think about was baseball. Winning ‘Player of the tournament’ for the 6 years and under category was everything for a short coal haired baseball fanatic like me. Every time a coach would tell me that I had a good game, or practice I thought that I was going to go to the Pros and I would be the star for my dad’s favorite team, the Baltimore Orioles. But being one of the best players on the teamwas a double-edged sword, sure I was playing well but I thought that my game was perfect and I wasn’t open to criticism, to growth.
One of the most important attributes that we should have is being open to growth because we are never perfect. Sure we may be better than average when we start a new sport or subject, but at one point we are going to challenges that we cannot overcome and we need to be willing to use criticism and be open to growth to overcome these challenges. I didn’t realize this when I was playing baseball, and I thought “I’m better than this” whenever my coaches offered some criticism. Eventually, I started to miss balls, and my teammates began to hit my pitches, but I kept on ignoring criticism and that was the beginning of the end for my baseball career. After a couple years of being one of the better players I never broke out as my coaches expected me to, and I never fulfilled my potential.
Looking back at it now I should have practiced the Jesuit value that I see in my day to day life, being open to growth. Being open to growth does not just mean practicing and putting in the effort, but it also means being willing to receive criticism from our coaches, or our teachers and using it as an instrument to improve and

Being open to growth does not just mean practicing and putting in the effort, but it also means being willing to receive criticism from our coaches, or our teachers and using it as an instrument to improve and to be the best that we can be. I should have used all the criticism from my coaches because of this refusal to take criticism to lead to not even playing baseball let alone being one of the best players on my team. But being open to growth means so much more to listen to criticism it means working day and night and putting blood sweat and tears into fixing problems that we didn’t know we had. This value also extends to our day to day lives, it is the way that we can get straight A’s or we can nail our SATs by being open to growth and using all the resources that we are given and be open to improving ourselves, and being the best version of ourselves that we can be until we breathe our final breath.
Being open to Growth is like what my dad says when I fail a test, “I don’t care about your failures, I care about how you come back from them.”
