Chapter One: Packing for College


My name is Daniel Evans. Ever since I was little, I have loved baseball! My dream has always been to be in Major League Baseball. All of my friends said that I was good enough to make it. My parents, though, they were a whole other story. They said that I was just little. According to them, every little kid wants to be in the MLB. They said I was just dreaming. They wanted me to be a lawyer! Yeah, in their dreams. Look at me now. I just got a scholarship to Harvard University just because I am good at baseball. Not because I am smart… BASEBALL! I’ve got a pretty good shot at the MLB. Right now I am packing for Harvard.
“Good-bye, Daniel,” my dad said. “I’m very proud of you.”
“Thanks, Dad.”
“Good-bye, Danny,” my mom said. “I’m… also very proud of you.” My mom just got through that sentence without crying.
“Good-bye, Mom.” I gave them my hugs and kisses and then headed off to college.
When I finally arrived, I almost fell asleep I was so tired from the drive. I grabbed my suitcase full of stuff and found my room. Luckily, I had no roommates. I had the WHOLE room to myself.
