My college choice.

This doesn't seem like it's about baseball- however this whole post is about to be. During the middle of my senior year of high school I felt called to ministry. Through I know this career move would be bold, I decided to follow through. However, after getting to college I began to question if that's what God intended me to do. It was so difficult to decide where I thought I belonged in life. I began to pray and dig into the word day in and day out and try to figure out where I should be. My heart was always with kids so I decided my major would be education. I recently got home for Christmas break and begin to feel God tell me something else...

Ever since I was in middle school I found myself watching MLBtv, ESPN. Fox Sports etc. Every single day. At just the age of 10 I lost my oldest brother to a tragic accident that I never through I'd mentally recover from. My brother's heart was bigger than anyone I have ever met and I always considered him to be a huge role model for me. Well...going back to me watching baseball networks- I always told myself I'd be one of them someday.


YES I AM A GIRL. I know i'm a girl who loves sports and it's been pointed out to me on various occasions. My dad told me I could never make it in the broadcasting industry and a job for a girl is very difficult to come by, because lots of girls on sports netwoks are hired to meet a quota for the network. I know though i'm not going to be that girl. Since I started watching sports networks I always looked up to a female broadcaster named Holly Rowe. Not just because my name is Hollie too, but because I knew one day I could be her. I'm here to prove my dad wrong and every guy that tells me I can't make it. This summer i'm going to try and pursue an internship at Fox Sports. (I do know a producer their so hopefully it will help me pull strings) I don't care how many hours, how many days a week, or even if i'm just shinning the shoes of everyone there...I will do it.


I finally feel a sense of calm about what God has called me to do. I'm going to pursue a degree in History Education (as a fall back) and a minor in broadcast journalism. I finally know where I belong and where I want to be. My goal you ask? One day you will see me on MLBtv. You can shut me down because i'm a girl, a token, unknowledgeable...call me what you want, but my name is Hollie Adams and i'm the next big thing.
