The Life You Imagine 

Post 1

      The Life You Imagine, by Derek Jeter, is so far, a very good book. He starts off by telling you that you need to set your goals high in life if you really want to be successful. As a kid he tells his parents that he wants to play baseball for the New York Yankees and they told him that he could do anything that he wanted to and that they would support him in whatever he did. He set small goals for batting average, and errors, but he set high goals like get the high school player of the year when he was a senior in high school, he made that goal when he was a junior. But he slowly makes all of his goals and is put in the minor leagues by the Yankees, and starts to move up through A to AA to AAA faster than most. He gets called up and on his first game, he looks back when he was 6 and realizes he made his goal to play for the Yankees.
