It is an Opportunity

As I put the finishing pieces into my suitcase, I prepare for one of the biggest opportunity thus far in my life.

So today is the “Opportunity Eve” for what is to come. Back in April I was offered a great opportunity to work with ESPN at the 2018 Little League World Series. Tomorrow I leave and will not return until the end of this month.

Now I know what you are thinking..”Why the hell would you not be super excited for an experience like this?” I am excited but knowing the person I am, I always overthink things. I am nervous.

Being away from my norm for such a long period of time kind of scares me. I want to succeed so I take every opportunity possible to better my future, so this was a no brainer.  I just worry that I won’t like it and miss home (my norm).

From what I know as an ESPN Runner, I will be basically an additional set of hands all around. Anything they need me to do or go, I do. From cleaning up trash, to filling ice, to picking up celebrities, I am there to do whatever.

Everyone I have spoken to tells me this event is so much fun to work and everyone is so great to work with. The atmosphere is very laid back and happy! They said that a lot of nights we will all go out for drinks and dinner together and just enjoy the whole experience.

So the question is, why am I so nervous? Maybe because I don’t know what to expect. I don’t technically know what to bring to wear. I was told T-shirts, shorts and capris but come on, that can mean so much. I bought a raincoat today because it looks like the first whole week it is suppose to rain. I also have the issue where I am super health conscious. I don’t like to eat greasy foods or anything bad for you so that limits my options at a ballpark. Can I bring things to eat? I guess we will see…

In all, I will definitely have to comeback and tell you all the aftermath of this experience. Not only could I end up having the time of my life but it could open a ton of doors for me. I am battling a lot of emotions here at home so I am looking forward to getting away from the crazy and just focusing on myself.
