!?!?! Just how it is !?!?!
I live in a small town in NW Arkansas - Gravette. graduated in 2002 and have been attending college ever since. its getting old but just a few more years and I'll be done.
The first part of my life I grew up in Kansas, just south of KC , Paola. it is about 5 times the town i live in now, yet still small. I played baseball and was on top of the world or thought so anyways - I moved to AR in May of '96, (i was about 11 years old) because my Grandmother had just passed away and someone needed to take care of my Grandpa. My aunts tried but he was a lil on the "mean" side so my dad said we are moving so Grampz wouldnt have to go into a nursing home.Yea he was mean at times but i wouldnt trade thoes years for anything. Grampz had both his lungs "pop" (more than once) in '93 and was thought to be dead but still managed to live with the help of Oxygen and then passed away on April 1, 2000. ~ I thought it was the worse joke a cousin could play when i was first told ~ i grew so attached living with him and taking care of my Grandpa. No, ill admit it wasnt the easiest but i wouldnt trade a minute of it. After he died i lost "my life" so to say - i didnt have a focus -- for when he was alive i had a dream to become a Pro-baseball player and give my grandpa the best i could -- we made a deal, he could have a $100,000 out of my first $Million. I was playing baseball for the Gravette high school (middle of season) at the time of his death and lost my vision and love for the game. it has been over 5 years now and i have played baseball but not with the passion i once had. i figured its all water under the bridge and havent played baseball for a few years - then this past year i had another shot at my dreams - i am played baseball again -- and the passion isnt like it once was but its still growing and atleast there is some to start. I am getting back into a focus and looking forward to the future as what it may bring who knows. But im not "floating" along anymore so it seems. Just looking to the future. |
