WEAR PURPLE ON FRIDAY
DONT GIVE UP
we all have dreams
some of us are lucky enough to reach those dreams
im one of them
i had always wanted to be a physician since middle school
well we called it junior high back then
however i was derailed on my first attempt at college
gpa was o as i dropped out before the semester was up
i floundered around for a few years then restarted school
part time then eventually went full time got my degree
and eventually made to medical school
the other day as i was checking out of home depot
(i was buying pvc connections for my rainwater system)
i looked up and there was mike z and his mom with
a load of boxes
mike z was one of my patients for several years
he was a good high school pitcher who went to college
on a baseball scholarship
he and his twin brother went to jr college first
mike z had a good jr college career
both eventually got scholarships to a four year school
mike z had a mediocre jr yr pitching then a slightly
better senior year
he always wanted to play professional baseball
but no one came knocking on his door at graduation
most people would have given up but not mike z
the texas rangers have a try out day once a year at their
triple a team in round rock
anyone who thinks they are good enough to play professional
baseball come to try out
hundreds of players of all ages shapes and sizes showed up
how in the world do they find that diamond in the rough in that
mass of players
mike z showed up and dazzled them with his speed and pitches
he was picked as the only one of all those people that would
get their chance to play professional ball
they asked him where have you been that no one has made
you an offer to play
those boxes were for his stuff from college as he has to pack
up to move to arizona for the winter rookie league for
the texas rangers
dont give up on your dreams
mike z and i never did
