Last week on my drive to North Carolina I finished, The Life You Imagine, by Derek Jeter. It was a very good, life lesson book. I would reccomend it to anyone looking for something to read no matter what genre they are looking for. Derek explains his road to greatness and how he got their. My favorite part in the book was when he was explaining his relationship with his dad. This is because I realised I have a very similar relationship with my dad as Derek does his. He's tough, but is supportive and postivie and he really cares for what I want to do and supports anything that I can do.

But now I have started a new book. It is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Caro. I haven't read into it or anything but I have heard of very good things of the book. I did read over the back of the book, and it's about a child named Ender, trying to save the human race from being attacked and killed by aliens. He was recruited for military training and he enters a new home. I am very excited to read this book, and really like the sci-fi genre.

My book that I am currently reading is The Life you Imagine by Derek Jeter. I am almost done with the book and will be soon.

Right now in the book, he talks about how you need to be a leader in life, but you also need to follow leaders too. You don't always have to be THAT guy, but you do need to be a leader too. He explains in his life that he has followed different leaders in his life and that he is a leader now, and has been in his life up to this point.

I consider Derek a very big leader in many different ways to many different people. He leads his professional baseball team, the New York Yankees, but he also leads little things. By hosting a charity event or having a team dinner. He leads his family, his team, and really anyone who looks up to him in life. Most look at him as being THAT guy, but he also steps back and let's others lead too. He explains that he did this a lot when he was younger and was still learning how to play baseball and in school. Derek is a great role model, and a very stong leader. I look forward to finishing the book soon and starting a new one.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
This is a quote by Derek, about leading the way, and hardwork. Thats something that Derek believes and what he also leads by.

The book, "The Life Imagine" by Derek Jeter has been a very good, quality book. It teaches you life lessons that you will keep with you forever. There are multiple themes throughout the book, from chapter to chapter. The main one though, is- You can do anything you want in life if you are determined, and put if the effort to get there. You can do this by having support of your family, friends, and peers.

The Life you imagine was a very good, and inspiratinoal book. Going through Derek's struggles, to his highs, and everything inbetween. I think most people will like this book, and if you don't have great parents like Derek did, you can learn from what he says in the book about them. The Life You Imagine, was a very good book, with a stong, meaningful theme.
