We put as much money, time and effort into all of our sons ( 2 ) interests. We let them determine their commitment and then my wife and I make whatever sacrifices we have to to make sure they get to pursue their dreams. So far, we schlepp to: travel baseball, high school baseball, swimming, wrestling, football, track, concerts ( oldest one became drummer in a band and is pursuing music as a career ) etc. Is it worth it ?????? My parents allowed me the opportunity to pursue my dreams and now it's my turn to pay it forward and allow my kids to pursue theirs. Will they be pro, college or high school or travel or whatever level ? I don't know and quite frankly, I don't care ! They are, and have had, a blast pursuing their dreams and are learning life lessons, making friends, making mistakes....but doing it all while pursuing their dreams ! My dream you may ask......my dream was to grow up and have a family.....I'M LIVING MY DREAM EVERYDAY....and thank God for making it possible.
