Yesterday I received some devastating news. Unfortunately, my name wasn’t added to Fury’s roster in time, so I won’t be able to compete in the Alliance National Championship. I’ve trained five hours a day since Colorado preparing for this tournament. I haven’t felt this good on the mound or... at the plate in a long time, which makes this especially heartbreaking. Missing the biggest recruiting tournament of the year is tough to accept. But I know God never gives me more than I can handle, and I trust that He is in control, even when I don’t understand the plan. This setback doesn’t define me, and it certainly won’t stop me. I was able to pick up this weekend and compete in the 18U PGF Super 7. Over three games, I pitched 11 innings, recorded 23 strikeouts, and was reminded that all the hard work is paying off. This chapter isn’t the one I wanted, but my story isn’t over. I’ll keep working, keep believing, and keep proving that my best softball is still ahead of me. The dream hasn’t changed, it just took an unexpected detour. Here are some of my strikeouts this weekend.

I seriously can’t believe this travel season is over already! I thought about putting together my season highlight videos but what I want to really highlight is the team that made this year a highlight! This team means so much to me it’s hard to even put into words! At the beginning of the season, we were just a new group of girls trying to figure it out. I knew we had talent, but wow… we were so much more than just good. We were tough, we were competitive, and we became a real family. We won some big-time tournaments, challenged each other every day, and created a bond I’ll never forget. People always say “who you play for matters,” and that’s true—but what really matters is who you play with. I got to play with 13 girls who had my back no matter what, and 3 coaches who believed in us every step of the way. This team showed me what it really means to be a team. We played for each other, we picked each other up, and we never gave up—on the field or off. I’ve had a lot of great memories with this sport, but this season? This one’s special. It’s one I’ll always remember. Huge thank you to our coaches Jeremy Higdon, crosby huckabay, and Jazzy Francik – thank you for trusting us to play the game and allowing us to have fun while doing it, boy did we have some fun! You’ve helped shape not only the player I am, but the person I’m becoming. And to my 13 sisters… we’re not done. Not even close. Thank you for making this season unforgettable. I can’t wait to hit the dirt again with all of you this fall and break some hearts! 🖤🤍🩶 Carleigh Allen C/O 2028 Addison (Addi) Smith Braley Stewart Hillary Stansbury 2028 Calieah “Flaca” Reyes Adrianna “NaNa” Reyes Kat Marley Hall 2029🥎 Eliana Phillips CabeSuzanna Amiya Leach Avery Gran @ahmad_jr_xahara Carlos Arias Line Drive Media Coast Recruits 🥎 EXTRA INNING SOFTBALL @FPX14U Brandon Carr OnDeck Softball 🥎 @softball_dugout Top Preps - Get Seen by College Coaches & Scouts.

I was asked to write a bio of myself on SportsRecruits. I wanted share what I wrote. I love this one and those in it. • • • OLYMPIC DREAMS. I was 12 years old when I lost my starting position at shortstop, and lost my way into the batting lineup as well. I know it sounds silly being at such a young age, but to me; at the time, it was devastating. If not for my faith in God and my family… I’m not sure if I would be here writing this bio of mine. Hello! My name is Grace Varua. I am 16 years old and currently a sophomore at Pope John High School in Sparta, NJ. I started playing softball when I was 7 years old (video) When I am not playing High School softball Pope John Softball I play for Unity Torres 2028 primarily as a catcher and 3B as my secondary. MY hopes; after you have read, is to feel who I am through this quick bio of myself. Hence, the reason why I started this bio the way I did. A quick backdrop to my story. When this all happened at 12 years old, I wasn’t quite sure how to handle it. I was broken. My parents made it super simple for me. My choices were to quit or get back to work and prove to myself and to “the world” that my story was not finished. My parents have also taught me, that having goals or being goal oriented is super important. Goals give us a sense of purpose or meaning while we sweat and work hard. Goals gives myself an opportunity to plan and stay organized. Most importantly, goals gives myself perspective in paying respect to the time and effort given to me by my coaches, players of my team and parents. Goals keep me disciplined to fight through when I’m tired and all I want to do is rest and pack it in. So I picked a goal that I felt would represent the pinnacle of my sport. That being, to be a member of USA’s Women’s Olympic National Team. USA Softball Women's National Team 🇺🇸 Some may say a far-fetched goal, but I think otherwise. I was taught the philosophy of the 100 hour rule. Roughly 18 minutes a day training for 1 year. Gives myself the opportunity to outperform 95% of the population in my craft. Whether that stands true or not. This philosophy is more about staying disciplined. I can humbly and honestly say, I exceed that 18 minutes and then-some for the reason of hoping to represent my country one day. I’ve been able to catch some of the best youth pitchers in the game of club softball right now. Like Sydney Gonglik (LSU committ) Madelyn Vogan (Penn State committ) Mackenzie Herzog 2028 (Alabama Thunderbolts Premier ‘27) Future big time pitchers Lucy Reis 2029 and Lila Manfredonia 2028 (Ohio Outlaws Wolff/Acord ‘28) Anna Jane (AJ) Jarzab (Beverly Bandits ‘09 Lewis/ Moran) Liv Cilli (Providence Committ), Reese Tobey (UMass committ) and all my current pitchers on UNITY Torres ‘28 Joselyn Bermudez 2028, Adrianna Bryce ,Maddie Falvey 2028 , Gabby Gomez Gabby Perez and OliviaMVidela2028 It has been a blessing to work side by side with all of them. I am the catcher today because of them, my coaches and trainers. I am so thankful to each and every one of them. I have achieved and experienced some awesome things at my age. I made my High School Varsity team as a freshman, was a freshman 1st team All-Conference player, I hit back to back home-runs to help Pope John get to, and win our NJ County Championship in 2025. I am a 4x USA HPP (High Performance Program) invite, USA Softball’s 15U Top Performer and 15U National Team Member. I traveled, played and trained overseas in Paris and the Netherlands. I have a 3.9 G.P.A, I have an amazing older sister and younger brother. I have the best parents in the world and I have GOD with me each and every step of the way through this journey! I am blessed and so grateful!

Coaches— As I started receiving offers last fall, I made the decision to enjoy the journey and trust His timing. My plan was to wait until the end of this summer before making a commitment so I could focus on my training and junior season. It’s been an amazing journey, and my recruitment remains OPEN. This summer I’ll be competing across the country against some of the best while continuing to learn about programs and build relationships with coaches as I search for the best fit both on and off the field. I am a middle infielder/utility player who takes pride in my work ethic, preparation, and development. My goal is to be one of the hardest workers on any team, compete at a high level, and help a program win. If you feel like I can help your program, I’d love to connect. I plan to make my decision later this summer. Below is my summer schedule, junior year highlights, and a few accomplishments: 🥎 Hernando High School 🥎 Impact Gold 16U Pipkin 🎓 Class of 2027 🏆 1x 7A MHSAA State Champion 🥈 3x 7A MHSAA State Runner-Up 🏆 2x National Champion ⭐️ 3x 7A All-State 🏅 All-District MVP ⭐️ 2x Region 7A First Team ⭐️ 2x Region 7A Second Team ⭐️ 3x DeSoto County All-County ⭐️ 2x MHSAA All-Star #SoftballRecruiting #2027Grad ImpactGold-Pipkin Jazz Jackson-Vesely Nicki Whitten Carie Dever Boaz Alex Webb Hernando Softball Athlete Recruiting Promotion - Softball Keith Stepter II, PT, DPT, CSCS, CMFA-L1 Athlete Vanity Young Athletes Fitness Scout Softball Coast Recruits 🥎 USA Softball Recruiting🥎 MISSHSAA BallGirlSports Line Drive Media Top Preps - Get Seen by College Coaches & Scouts.

I’ve been keeping something from you. The way I cope with hard things is by doing the work and putting the pain in a box. But the truth is—since I spoke out against insurance companies, things have been really hard. My practice is struggling. I built a surgery center so I could take better care of my patients, expecting to do my cases through insurance. But several insurance companies have refused to contract with me since I posted that video. The strain has been so heavy, I’m not sure I can keep the practice open in its current form. I’m sharing this because no insurance company should have the power to shut down a practice, especially one built to help people. All I want is to take care of my patients. All I want is to do the right thing. I’ve invested all of my time, money, and heart into this. And it’s dangerous—truly dangerous—that one or two insurance companies can make decisions that threaten the future of a practice like mine. I’m hoping that I can figure something out for the practice, but I just wanted to be honest with you guys because this is part of the reality of being a doctor. This isn’t the first time I’ve been here. COVID almost knocked me out. The hack, when I wasn’t paid for three months, was another blow. And now this—being punished for telling the truth. But I won’t be knocked out. I’m committed to telling the truth about healthcare, about insurance, and working to find a better way to continue to keep my practice open and taking care of women with breast cancer so I don’t lost my practice or my home. I promise I’ll keep you updated.

I wasn’t going to talk about this but here we go… At age 21 I fell madly in love with chess, spending over 6 hours a day doing endgame calculations, studying old games, and analyzing my own. I was and am happiest in a tournament hall- I gained over 800 Fide rating points in two years. I’ve never felt this way about anything EVER. But then I graduated. So I made chess content my job. I’m one of the lucky ones. Some months I barely get by, others are better. As I’ve been getting older I started to feel the pressure to make this a feasible career. Any time I didn’t spend making content made me feel guilty (including the time spent studying chess.) I feel like I’m in limbo. I haven’t done a tournament in months. I tell myself when I make it work i’ll be able to again. Having your passion be your work is amazing in so many ways, but it’s also incredibly tough. Usually my content is on the lighter side but I really wanted to make something about what’s been weighing so much on me. Thank you for reading❤️♟

Good day Pastor Poju , i hope this testimony blesses someone out there and be encouraged to follow the leading of the holyspirit. I live and work in the uk, on June 7th i was accused wrongly at work that led into a police case, i was worried , embarrassed and devastated. I was asked to stop working till the case was resolved . I cried , prayed ( even when i didn’t know the words to say i kept praying, and cried some more) after the last two teachings on speaking in tongues i decided not to use my words anymore and begin to speak in tongues more often on this matter . On monday the 24th of June i got a call from the detective in charge of the case and he asked me to come over on thursday to say my side of the story , i was so worried but something happened on Wednesday( the day before i went to the station) , i was listening to a song titled “After all these years by Todd Galberth” and i had this strong urge in my spirit to begin to speak in tongues all i remember was my head swelling so much and hot tears falling and i continued to press in so deep in tongues ( i have never experienced something this surreal before) . This experience lasted for just 5mins and it felt like 5hrs . Immediately the swelling in my head stopped i knew i had gotten it. On Thursday after i got to the police station, the detective asked me to say my side of the story, i did and after all this he said to Me and my legal representative, in his words “i wasn’t supposed to do this until i have informed the other party involved but i would like to let you know that i would be backing out of the case and have the case closed “ , “please go home and prepare to resume back to work” .

Good day Pastor Poju , i hope this testimony blesses someone out there and be encouraged to follow the leading of the holyspirit. I live and work in the uk, on June 7th i was accused wrongly at work that led into a police case, i was worried , embarrassed and devastated. I was asked to stop working till the case was resolved . I cried , prayed ( even when i didn’t know the words to say i kept praying, and cried some more) after the last two teachings on speaking in tongues i decided not to use my words anymore and begin to speak in tongues more often on this matter . On monday the 24th of June i got a call from the detective in charge of the case and he asked me to come over on thursday to say my side of the story , i was so worried but something happened on Wednesday( the day before i went to the station) , i was listening to a song titled “After all these years by Todd Galberth” and i had this strong urge in my spirit to begin to speak in tongues all i remember was my head swelling so much and hot tears falling and i continued to press in so deep in tongues ( i have never experienced something this surreal before) . This experience lasted for just 5mins and it felt like 5hrs . Immediately the swelling in my head stopped i knew i had gotten it. On Thursday after i got to the police station, the detective asked me to say my side of the story, i did and after all this he said to Me and my legal representative, in his words “i wasn’t supposed to do this until i have informed the other party involved but i would like to let you know that i would be backing out of the case and have the case closed “ , “please go home and prepare to resume back to work” . At that moment i knew it was the experience from yesterday that turned the whole situation around. Thank you for continually being a voice of reasoning. God’s blessings always on you Dj Pope. You are greatly appreciated.

Q: It must be complicated, when I listen to you, to have a private life, somebody to understand your passion and to share this moment. Lewis: "It really is, especially I would say more so today than ever before, which is the way the world is, you know. I look at the other drivers and I wonder how they're doing it. You know, some are having kids and some married, some, you know, most of them girlfriends. I did that when I was in my 20s, but I took a decision to really to maximize my time that I have here because it's not as long as you think and it's limited, you know. And I don't want to look back and be like, ah, if I just gave a little bit more here, I didn't sacrifice my time because I was committed elsewhere." "So I really focused in these last, you know, particularly these last 10 years, like get everything I can out of my performance. Then when I retire, then I can do whatever I want. You know, I can dedicate my time to whatever else it is and not have to worry." "But in this competition time, focus on health, well-being, my mental health, my driving technique, being as good an engineer as I can be, and also being the best teammate that I can potentially be for the guys that I get to work with. That's my sole focus. You know, I want to win." "I've been fortunate enough to win with great teams in the past. Particularly, obviously, with Mercedes and with McLaren, which was incredible. And my dream is to win a championship with Ferrari." "And that's something that hasn't been done for a while. But they have absolutely every ingredient that's needed to win. It's just like getting all the pieces of the puzzle in the right place. And that's what I'm trying to work on in the background with Fred and the whole team." [📹 VIGNERON GAETAN]

#SEONGHWA about walking the runway for SONGZIO today 🩶 ⭐️: Anyway, what I really wanted to say today is that, honestly, walking the runway has always felt like a dream to me. And now, counting this time I’ve done it three times in total, now twice with SONGZIO, which is a brand I really lov, so it made this an even more meaningful time for me. It was such a meaningful experience. While getting ready backstage, all the models were just incredibly cool.. really, so cool. Seeing them gave me a lot of courage and watching how the staff worked was very inspiring as well. In a way it kind of reminded me of ATEEZ in our earlier days, everyone felt close like a family and it was really nice to see. Yes, I learned a lot and felt a lot through this experience. Last time I was only focused on the runway itself, but this time I think I was able to see things more broadly. I think I saw the whole thing with a broader perspective, I learned and felt things. It was truly so much fun. And in those moments I really felt like I was the main character, I really had fun. Originally, during rehearsal, I was second to last. But the CEO started at the very end, and after I finished, I was waiting like this and I was supposed to go in around the final turn. Then suddenly, he changed the positions. So, unexpectedly, I ended up even doing the finale, and it felt so thrilling. At the same time though I worried whether I might somehow be kind of a burden among such amazing models so that (thought) made me study and practice even more. Even though I personally feel there are still many ways I’m lacking, I also found myself thinking that maybe I was able to be part of the story these people were writing through fashion. And that made me feel really proud. #SONGZIOFW25 #성화 #SONGZIO

Changmin’s Ending Ment at Nissan Stadium 2026 🏟️💜 "Well, this is actually my third time standing on the stage of this great stadium. To be honest, even just a year ago, I didn't expect or hope for this to happen ever again I had been thinking about it secretly, and I even told the fans on social media, 'I want to stand in Nissan once more' For me even after 20 years since my debut Nissan Stadium was like a new hope, a goal, and a dream Now that this dream has come true again, I am incredibly happy, but to be honest, I also feel a slight sense of emptiness alongside that happiness If I’m being frank, it feels as if the mission is already accomplished and over. Of course, I hope to meet you all again in this wonderful place, and I will undoubtedly continue to work hard and give all my energy for you in the future. However, truthfully, I prepared for this show with the thought in mind that this might be the last time I stand in a majestic place like Nissan Stadium -🙄- I don’t know what the future holds, but the important thing is that I did my absolute best for all of you. Maybe the performance wasn’t 100% perfect, or maybe there were aspects that didn’t quite meet my ambitions, but on a personal level, the '2026 Nissan Stadium Live' was so much fun, and I don’t have a single regret. Thanks to all of you, this dream came true and I am so happy. It’s because of you that we exist as artists. Thank you so much"

kim seungmin….💔 this is his honest feelingㅠㅠ 🐶 Anyway the 2-week promotion period has already come to an end. Honestly, ever since the concert, I had this vague feeling like… “Can I really do this?” I kept thinking about whether I could stay right next to the members, without missing a single beat and manage to do all of this. It was a very vague, uncertain feeling. But at the same time, this is obviously something I have to do. I’m a member of the group, it’s my job and there are so many STAYs who are watching and supporting us so there are things that I naturally have to do. And because of that, I also wondered if I should even feel proud of myself for having gotten through this somehow differently from usual. Like, “Is it okay for me to feel proud of myself for this?” Anyway, I still haven’t really been able to let this promotion go yet, that’s because, with these music show promotions, I was the one who said that I would somehow join in. I felt like if I was going to be separated from the members even on stage ans if I just stayed by myself doing rehab and resting alone… Of course, I know that I was supposed to rest, but if I did, somehow, both emotionally and mentally, I just couldn’t accept it for myself. Everyone carries some degree of pain with them and still works and goes on living their lives. That’s just how you learn to live, I think. So even in those moments, I really hated showing it or letting it show that I was in pain. But at the same time, I couldn’t cause any problems for the others either, because you never know what might happen. What if I was performing on stage and a situation came up where I genuinely couldn’t keep going? Then, if I had to leave the stage in the middle of a performance again, someone would have to fill in for my position in the choreography. It’s easy to say but when one person is missing, someone else inevitably has to fill that space and there’s still going to be an empty spot somewhere. So, for the formations this time, since I wasn’t able to participate in the group choreography during the MV, I thought, “Let’s just focus on the meaning of me being able to stand on stage together with them while keeping the members’ original formations.”That’s what I told the company and the choreographers as well. Because you never know, I could have ended up having to leave again in the middle of a performance. So even if I was mostly hidden a little, I thought I’d just put meaning into being there together with them in the back and then come forward during my parts and do my best to make sure my face was seen. That was how I tried my best, in my own way, to get through it. Those were honestly my feelings about it. This is all really true. So I guess I feel a little bittersweet about it. In my own position, I’m genuinely doing my best. I truly mean that.

I remember when I was about 22 or 23, and I was at one of the lowest points in my life for various reasons… I felt the need to go to church and wanted to find “peace” in my heart. I felt lost… I felt like I needed God in my life. I didn’t know what that even meant, I just felt it. I ended up at a church with a pastor very similar to this man.. and I wasn’t even a spiritual person back then, but everything inside of me was screaming to get out. Looking back now, without knowing it.. I felt demonic forces at play. God was telling me to get out. Eventually I found my way, and that was only because of my journey — I sat down one night and just started talking to God… not even understanding that I was praying.. From that point on, my life changed so much and I began to see things differently, God revealed things to me, and taught me how to find clarity in all situations,.. I found peace. There is no peace that can be found at Churches like this and with Pastors like this… true peace comes when you just start opening your mouth to speak God’s name and begin talking to him. You don’t need a church to find God.

Being here on these steps feels spiritual to me. I’ve stared at the Salad Days cover since I learned of Minor Threat when I was 14. I think back to that first mixtape Jared Hein gave me in class sophomore year of highschool. Hearing Minor Threat on that tape for the first time opened a new door I didn’t even know existed. It pulled me into a world that felt raw, honest, and completely alive. The Salad Days cover. Those steps. It resonates with all of us who came up in this scene. It is more than an image. It is a feeling, a moment, a shared memory. This is my second time here. The first was over 20 years ago, and I can’t find that photo anywhere. So I had to take this one for myself. Just to reconnect. To bring myself back to the music and to that version of me that first felt it. Walking up to the Dischord Records house really does feel spiritual and like a time portal to when I was a teenager and all I cared about was going to shows and listening to records with my friends. Sitting on these steps, you can feel the history in a way that is hard to explain. One day I will meet Ian MacKaye. That would be a dream.

Aaron Paul says his Breaking Bad audition was so bad he apologized and thought his chances were over. But creator Vince Gilligan recognized him from an episode of The X-Files, a moment that helped save his audition and earn him the role of Jesse Pinkman “When I got Breaking Bad, I was at the lowest point in my career, just in terms of finances. I didn’t know where my next check was gonna come and how I was gonna pay my bills” “I walked into that audition and Vince was very excited that I had done an episode of The X-Files. He asked me what episode did I do. I said, ‘Lord of the Flies,’ and he started laughing. He said, ‘You did the role Sky Commander Winky. That was my nickname in college.’ And that just broke the ice. It just felt like Vince was already in my corner before I even started” “The pressure was on. A roomful of people, stadium seating, and you have to prove yourself. I do it, and that's the audition you see me, apologizing. Like, Oh my God, I just fucked this up” “So I walk out, and I'm just biting my nails. I'm desperate. I really have no money. It wasn't that I was in love with the material. I also had to have this happen. The casting came out and brought me back in, and Vince was in the hall and wanted to have a talk with me. And that right there, I was like, okay, he's still in my corner. He just gave me some advice and I went back in, did my audition again” “They didn't let me know for two weeks. The reason why they took two weeks is because, honestly, no one wanted me other than Vince. Finally, he said, this is the guy I want. He made it happen. Thank God”

So... he almost gave up? 🐼:Actually, I’m a lot like Pond. I’m someone who really loves going to concerts. Many fans probably know that, and my friends definitely do. I have to admit that there were many times when I would watch a concert and think to myself, “One day, I want to be on that stage and perform for everyone.” And today, that day has come. It’s a strange feeling. It’s like a dream I’ve been chasing since I was a child. When the day comes that it actually happens, it’s such a strange feeling because I don’t even know how to explain it to the people in front of me. But one thing I do know is that I feel incredibly lucky to have everyone here watching me. This is a profession, something I never thought I would actually do. Honestly, I always thought it would just be a dream because I’ve always tried to live in the real world. I knew that the chance to have an opportunity like this in the real world is… 00000000,1% of the population. So I focused on studying. I planned out my life what I wanted to do, how I would live and this was just a hobby. My friends know me well; I told them this back in my first year of university. Everyone knows me as a GMMTV artist and actor, with some work here and there. And everyone asked me, "Why are you worrying about this?" With confidence, I replied, “I’m studying because when I graduate, I’ll stop doing this and get a proper job maybe in a bank, a firm, or an IT company.” One thing my parents have always told me since I started in the entertainment industry is: "If you really want to do this, why not take it seriously? Don’t just do it for fun. If you want to do it for real, plan it. Think about what you want to do, and how to do it well." I had always refused… until one day, in my third year, I was sitting in a friend’s condo while they were writing their résumé to apply for jobs just preparing a portfolio so they’d have work after graduation. Then my friend asked me, "Hey, have you started your CV yet?" Okay… now I had to get serious. I opened my own schedule, and what I saw was… strange. Looking at it, I realized, “Wow… I’ve been doing this without even realizing it.” My schedule, from the 1st to the 31st of August, was almost fully booked. For the first time, I thought to myself, “Maybe I can actually do this… all the way, even when I’m old.” And from that day in 2023 until today, in 2025, I am truly grateful to everyone for giving me the opportunity to do this as a real profession, to chase my dreams for real, and to actually make them happen.

For the first time, I thought to myself, “Maybe I can actually do this… all the way, even when I’m old.” And from that day in 2023 until today, in 2025, I am truly grateful to everyone for giving me the opportunity to do this as a real profession, to chase my dreams for real, and to actually make them happen.

I have decided to go fully into a state of confession & reconciliation I wasn’t sure if there were certain things in my life I wanted to give up I’m too familiar with my worldly lifestyle & it has seemed to hard to detach from Perhaps it is and I will fail. I cannot know my future, but I can hold on to faith and God’s promise to guide me into His will I won’t ever be perfect, but I’m willing to submit whatever God is calling me to give up or begin doing Surrounded myself with a group of good Godly people and resources first as I know it’s going to be very difficult / hard to stay accountable If you ever hear that I’m not perfect, that I have sinned, or compromised on my spiritual goals. Unfortunately it’s all possible as an imperfect human being - I honestly don’t even know what success looks like in this endeavor But the fear of future failure cannot and will not longer be a tool of the enemy to keep me from putting my best foot forward to conform to the character of God Pray for my soul that I would be set free to be in communion with God and please always pray for the souls of all those still suffering in sin & rebellion I’m not claiming a sudden conversion, just willing to begin the actual journey to submit my life to The One who created me. I don’t know my purpose here on earth, but I know my purpose isn’t the way I’m living May God grant me the grace and mercy to find out the answer to this difficult question. I know the answer is out there, in Jesus’s name. (I hope I never lose my dry sense of humor in all of this - I will still always be imperfect me, but hopefully I’m changed internally)
