      Hey everyone, it’s Matt from “Dedicated to Dreams.” In this blog you guys will get to read my childhood dream of playing for the MLB! I hope you enjoy reading about it! I have been playing sports my entire life, starting at the age of 4. I played baseball, football, basketball, golf and even volleyball (for a little while at least, I wasn’t that good haha). The first sport I played was baseball and have been in love with it every day since! Growing up I started seeing myself progress and getting better and better every year, and wanted to try out for a full-time travel team. I knew if I wanted to play it was going to be expensive and I was going to have to work harder than I ever had before. I tried out for my first team when I was eleven and ended up making it, it made me love every second of the game. My dream had always been to go to Vanderbilt and play for the Commodores then hopefully after that play for my favorite MLB team… The Chicago White Sox!...

  Hey everyone, it’s Carter from the “Dedicated to Dreams” team. I’m writing today to tell you guys about my dreams as a kid, so I hope you enjoy it! As a kid I had several different dreams. From being the starting quarterback of the Tennessee Titans, to being the lead guitarist in a band, or even being a star motocross rider. I was very lucky to have great parents who supported these dreams of mine, even if they lasted a few weeks before I had another big dream come to mind. Around the age of 5, I started competing in several different sports- my favorite being football. I can still perfectly picture football practice right behind my elementary school every Monday through Thursday. After every practice I 100% knew I was going to make it to the NFL. Even though my dream never worked out, it led to me meeting some of my best friends to this day. I truly think that’s the best part of some of my dreams as a kid.                   ...
