Intro

Alright, I’ve been thinking about starting a Blog for awhile.. either a weekly / monthly. Let me know what you think..

What do you want to be when you get older is a question that kids and young adults are often asked. Each time its asked, there could be a different response. I recently attended my son’s PreK graduation. There some of the responses to that question were, a fireman, truck diver, a lion and a bear. My older son will answer that same question one day saying he’s going to be a doctor and the next a baseball player. As I approach my 20th high school reunion, yes I’m getting old, I look back over the years at my answer to that question. I found my senior yearbook and my answer to what I would be doing in 10 years… a computer repairman, Y2K was coming, or a professional athlete. Yelp, as you can guess neither of those things happened. After graduating high school I went to college. When I went to freshman orientation I was going in thinking I will be a teacher / coach, I loved working with kids and loved playing and being around sports. I step into a room and see 100+ young adults with the same idea.. needless to say I let that deter me, I decided on communication and sports broadcasting. I loved that decision, working on radio, announcing basketball and football games, working at a race track all things that kept me in the sports side. The day I graduated college I moved to Morgantown with the grand plan of working on radio. I went to several interviews, which each ending in a no, one radio station even said, “Tim we would hire you in a heartbeat, however once your fiance graduates college you two will be moving back to your hometown.” Anyway, as I sit here at 37 not doing anywhere close to what I said I would be in high school or college I again ask myself What do you want to be when you get older.
