Player's name: Bre Hartman
Hometown: Red Bank, NJ
Primary position: 2nd Base
Secondary position: Shortstop/Utility
Where I attended high school: Red Bank Regional High School, Little Silver, NJ
College graduation year:
2016
College Major: Elementary and Special Education
What I hope to do when I graduate: I hope to overall make a difference in children’s lives. As an elementary and special education teacher, I have learned that education is constantly changing and every child, with or without disabilities, deserves to be treated equally with a proper education.
Campus clubs or organizations: Other than my team, I am a member of, and the secretary for, the SAAC organization and I am also a member of the De La Warr history club on campus.
What I like best about college: I love how close I am with my teammates so being able to hang out with them outside of softball is always a great time.
My favorite spot on campus: My favorite spot on campus is in Budd Hall with most of the education majors. Many of the classrooms are always open throughout the day whenever I need a quiet place to sit down and work, whether it is in the computer lab or in one of the regular classrooms.
Things I like to do: Spending my down time with my roommates and friends, I always have a great time hanging out on campus with my friends.
What I've done over the summers: When I wasn’t working at a movie theater in my hometown, I played on a 23U travel softball team and I also helped coach my younger sister on her 18U travel team.
Best advice I've received: On the softball field my dad would always tell me, “Pain is temporary, pride is forever.” He has taught me to always play my best and then I would have no reason to be upset with myself if I thought I played my best.
Favorite teams: Alabama football and softball and my favorite collegiate teams and Denver Broncos and New York Mets are my favorite professional teams.
The most influential person in my life is my former education teacher from high school, Mrs. Eads. She is the home economics teacher as well as the preschool program teacher at my old high school. Mrs. Eads was one of the most inspiring teachers I have had throughout my educational career. She has taught me many things and has made me look at elementary teaching in a whole new perspective which is why I am pursuing the career I am today.
If I could give one piece of advice to elementary school children it would be to never give up. Every person faces tough times in their life but it will all be worth it in the end to know they had overcome any obstacles in life. The best thing to do is to look back at your educational journey and see how far you have come.
My favorite form of entertainment includes playing any type of sport with my friends just for fun. Whether it’s throwing a softball or football around, playing basketball, or kicking a soccer ball around, I love to be active and stay involved with all types of sports.
