Carter's Childhood Dreams

 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.

As my younger years went on, my parents bought me my first dirt bike. Me and that dirt bike became best friends ever. Nobody could ever get me off of it. I grew up on a large piece of property, and could ride that dirt bike all day everyday. I tried to impersonate my favorite motocross rider, Travis Pastrana, by doing big jumps and riding wheelies. So many wrecks and scars came along with that, but still this was one of my favorite dreams looking back on it. 

The several dreams I had as a kid, are still there to this day. All those dreams hold special places in my heart, and had a great impact on my imagination as a kid and still today. When I got the chance to team up with The Dream Connection I was beyond thrilled. I was very lucky to get to have a very healthy childhood, but not everyone is. This Non-Profit organization understands that, and they go all out to help make kids with illnesses and disabilities get the same treatment every other kid deserves. Donations are what make this organization happen, and if there is any chance you can help with this, not only would you put a smile on my face, but as well as all those kids looking to fulfill their dreams.

High HOPEs

  Hello, it's Hope! The Marketing major member of Dedicated to Dreams. I am glad you stopped by to hear about my dreams as a kid. Now that I have introduced myself, let’s talk dreams. When I was a kid, I had so many dreams. I wanted to be a singer, actress, and a princess. I also really wanted a treehouse, but my dad does not know how to build anything so that dream never happened. Although I am mentioning many of my childhood dreams, I want to focus not necessarily on my dreams coming true, but how the support system I had made me feel like I could accomplish anything I dreamed of. When I was younger, I was a competitive gymnast. I would spend 12-16 hours of the week at practice, and I loved every minute of it. I would beg my parents for new leotards constantly. I kept up to date with all the Olympic gymnasts like Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, and Jordyn Wieber. I enjoyed all four gymnastic events, but my favorite was uneven bars. If there ever was an open gym practice, I would be a...

Matt's MLB Dream!

      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!...
