I
FOLLOWED
MY
DREAMS
THAT
DAY
BY
CHRISTIAN
ALLEN
Hello
my
name
is
Chris>an
I
will
be
telling
you
a
story
about
a
day
that
my
biggest
most
favorite
dream
came
true
and
the
story
begins
…
now
.
It
was
a
Friday
night
as
I
was
lying
in
bed
very
>red.
I
was
almost
asleep
when
my
alarm
went
off.
Yes!
It
was
>me
for
my
favorite
show.
I
always
set
my
alarm
for
10:30
so
I
would
not
forget.
It
was
WWE.
The
best
show
in
the
World.
AQer
watching
a
couple
of
matches,
I
got
really
interested
in
what
flexibility
and
speed
they
demonstrated,
then
I
thought
to
myself
I
can
do
that.
So
aQer
the
show
went
off,
I
walked
downstairs
and
told
my
mom
that
I
wanted
to
be
a
Wrestler.
My
mom
eventually
told
my
dad
and
he
contacted
my
brother
Brandon
cause
he
used
to
know
some
people
that
wrestled.
That
night
as
I
was
sleeping,
I
had
a
dream
that
I
was
a
wrestler
and
I
was
in
a
match
and
I
somehow
won.
So
the
next
morning,
I
told
my
parents
about
my
dream,
my
dad
told
me
that
he
contacted
Brandon
my
brother
and
he
got
in
contact
with
the
owner
of
a
wrestling
company.
I
just
froze
and
screamed
and
ran
around
so
excited.
My
dad
said,
you
will
be
going
for
wrestling
tryouts
tomorrow
and
told
me
that
I
had
to
get
a
good
night’s
sleep
for
the
big
day
tomorrow.
That
night
I
just
had
to
get
on
facebook
and
share
my
excitement
with
my
friends.
(
I
couldn’t
hold
it
back.)
I
posted
that
I
have
audi>ons
in
the
morning
for
wrestling.
They
were
so
excited
for
me.
They
told
me
to
keep
them
updated.
The
next
morning
I
woke
up
so
excited
my
mom
and
dad
had
me
a
big
yummy
breakfast
it
was
gravy,
biscuits
French
toast,
pancakes,
etc.
They
said
in
order
to
be
a
wrestler,
I
had
to
have
a
good
breakfast.
AQer
the
amazing
breakfast
I
was
so
full.
So
then
I
got
up
and
told
my
parents
that
I
needed
to
go
stretch
and
warm
up.
My
parents
were
very
proud
of
me
for
trying
this
and
following
my
dreams.
So
aQer
I
got
finished
warming
up,
I
heard
my
mom
and
dad
talking
about
something,
it
sounded
like
they
were
saying
my
name
so
I
knew
something
was
going
on.
I
accidently
made
a
sound
and
they
saw
me
and
stopped
talking.
I
was
thinking
like
that
was
weird.
Then
all
the
sudden
I
heard
like
a
car
horn
beep
and
my
parents
said
there
is
our
ride
and
I
was
like,
Ride
..What
Ride?
Then
all
the
sudden
a
big
fancy
RV
was
outside
with
my
name
on
it
and
a
picture
of
me
was
on
the
side
of
it.
I
just
froze
literally,
like
just
standing
there‐‐
I
mean
I
had
no
words.
Usually
I
would
be
running
and
jumping
around
but
no
I
didn’t
move
or
speak,
I
was
too
excited,
(sooner
or
later
I
had
to
ask
my
mom
is
that
mine
)she
said,
we
will
be
riding
in
it
to
your
audi>ons.
I
was
so
happy
that
my
family
did
this
for
me.
I
gave
them
all
a
hug
and
said
come
on
lets
go
so
they
all
tagged
along
with
me.
On
the
way
down
there
I
had
lots
of
fun
with
my
family
then
the
RV
stopped
and
they
opened
the
door,
they
helped
me
and
my
family
down
the
steps.
Then
there
it
was,
the
wrestling
tryout
stadium.
I
couldn’t
believe
my
eyes
were
actually
seeing
this!
I
walked
in
and
I
got
my
ID
card
and
when
I
opened
the
door
they
let
me
and
my
family
in.
I
was
lucky
,
I
was
the
2nd
tryout
there,
the
other
person
who
tried
out
came
out
crying
and
that
made
me
nervous,
then
they
called
my
name
as
my
family
found
them
a
seat.
I
done
all
kinds
of
moves
onto
the
mannequin.
I
accidently
kicked
it
hard
enough
and
its
head
fell
off.
The
crowd
went
wild!
AQer
the
last
move,
I
stopped
and
the
crowd
loved
me
but
now
the
judges
had
to
vote.
The
judges
were
all
talking,
then
the
boss
turned
around
and
I
crossed
my
fingers
and
then
he
said……….
YES!
I
was
so
excited!
Several
of
my
favorite
wrestlers
came
to
welcome
me.
They
handed
me
my
own
wrestling
shirt
with
my
own
design.
It
was
purple
with
a
heart
in
the
center
with
my
picture
inside.
They
gave
it
to
me.
I
was
so
happy!
The
judges
said
I
would
start
wrestling
next
week
‘that
was
the
day
when
my
dream
came
true.
‘
THE
END
