Two words we should ask ourselves every day... What If

Its hard for me to believe that its been over 15 years since I made a life changing choice. It was the early part of the 1st semester of my second year at Edison, a semester I was enjoying. I was taking a communication class and it was time to decide a major. Prior to this, my childhood dream was to be a sports commentator. Sports are something I am very passionate about and something I love more than life itself. Every time I watch sportscenter, the anchors usually miss a sports stat that I know. Two words we should ask ourselves every day, "What If". After a few weeks and not being the biggest fan of Literature, (my sister who is a High School english teacher can tell you that), I decided to give something else a try. Now did I think I did not want to pursue my childhood dream after that... I don't know. I decided to go with Business Management as my first major and had ideas on how I was going to use it: sports bar, Quiznos, Video Store, Coffee Shop. Then I decided to change majors for the only time in 2005 to Marketing/Sales. I am glad that I made that choice, one fewer accounting class and one fewer credit hour. In August of 2010, I got the itch to want to pursue my childhood dream again. There has not been a 3 day time span in the last few years of my life where I wish I can go back to 2001 and have more time to reconsider my decision. People today ask me, "why aren't you doing something sports related with your life". I wish I knew. I did not know about Sports Management, Sports Marketing until 2006 and I was focused on getting done with school at the time. I don't mind what I do now. I am trying to find ways to make me happy. I found a new niche, promotional products. I am now in charge of a few things at where I work, getting new polo shirts and promotional products. For as long as I am employed where I am, sports will always be my life's first love.
