Dear Students,

Last night, Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story hit three home runs. One of them was the longest home run ever hit at Coors Field. But my favorite at bat was his last one, the bottom of the eighth, when he had a chance to hit his fourth home run. He struck out, but he swung hard.

Trevor Story will play thousands of baseball games in his life. He’ll probably forget most of them. But last night, he made the most of the moment.

That’s how it is in life. It’s just a string of days, but every once in a while we have a chance to step up to the moment. Make sure you swing hard when that moment comes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
