hopeful: When I took my son to a baseball recruiting camp to perform in front of college coaches.

My son is a high school baseball player. Last summer we started working on his recruiting process. I'll never forget taking him to his first recruiting camp -- I knew he had talent and was so hopeful that all would go well.

That sounds very exciting -- if nervewracking! How did it go for him? (And you ;-))

I thought I'd die of nerves, but it went great! He is a pitcher and had a rough warm-up in the bullpen, so I was worried. But when it was his turn to take the mound, it went great!

That is the *best* feeling seeing hard work pay off! You much have been so happy for and proud of him!

So happy and proud -- I cried behind my sunglasses! And it all ultimately wound up with several scholarship offers! So we are now headed into senior year, and he has accepted an offer for a school he loves!
