It's now a month before Graduation. Baseball season has ended. After a long day of school, my dad comes to my bedroom to have a conversation about my future
Earn... Can we talk?
Sure dad wassup?
Slidkalniņš: 2
Son im just worried about you son
Please don't tell me its about this again
Slidkalniņš: 3
Yes Earn, It's not just my plan. It's about your future. About security. Something I didn't always have
And you really think the only way is to do what you do? What makes you happy?
Slidkalniņš: 4
Nothing? Dad, I have offers. It's not nothing to me. It's what I love
Baseball is to uncertain. One injury, one bad season and then what? You're left with nothing
Slidkalniņš: 5
But what's the point of having a roof under my head if im miserable under it? Spending my life doing something I hate just because you think its safe
Love doesn't pay the bills Earn. Passion does not put a roof above your head
Slidkalniņš: 6
And i appreciate that. But that does not mean I want the same thing
I don't hate my work. It's honest. Provides for my family
Slidkalniņš: 7
I actually have a chance. Coaches want me. They believe in me
Im trying to understand Earn. But it's hard for me to see this
Slidkalniņš: 8
Please Dad. You did something you wanted to do on your own. Now it is time for me to do the same
Sighs ....
Slidkalniņš: 9
You know what Son. Although throughout these years I just wanted you to follow my footsteps. I have come to the conclusion that you are a growing man. I'm very sorry. to You're right. you have dreams and goals that you want to achieve yourself. Just know that I love you and will always support you every step of the way.
Slidkalniņš: 10
Thanks Dad. I promise you I will continue to stay dedicated and make you proud.
No problem Son.
Slidkalniņš: 11
After a year after the conversation, I played at Florida State Baseball and would later get drafted by the Detriot tigers
