The Life You Imagine


Over the summer I read a book by Derek Jeter with Jack Curry. The book is called, The Life You Imagined, and it’s about how Derek Jeter got up to the major league level. This book is an autobiography about his life experiences. This book is written as a chapter book. In this book, there are real pictures of Jeter, his parents and special events that he went through. This book also features people talking about his skills of baseball and how good he was at such a young age. He put all of these features into this book to make it easier to understand what he did and how while getting up the major league level.
When you read this book yourself, you will be amazed at how many different events he went through. His parents were making sure that he was safe at all times throughout his life. He worked very hard at and did what had to come first such as school work before going out to play ball. When you read this book you will find out what else Jeter did and went through other than working hard every single day at baseball.During his childhood, he was a good kid. He did nothing bad and always worked hard when it came to school. He kept his grades up near the A range in all classes. Just like Jeter worked hard in school he also worked hard in practice with a good attitude. He always had his mind set to be the best. Jeter stayed in good shape and ate healthy. Derek was as all around player too, because he could run, hit, throw, and field. He was talented when it came to baseball. Jeter tried hard in games too. He would keep on hitting the ball game after game after game. He would make great plays in the field also. Jeter was made to play baseball. This book tells you many of his life experiences and how he tired to help people from staying away from thing you shouldn’t do in life. This book will also tell you his role models along the way. He had more than just one and he followed in there foot steps. Some of his role models played baseball and some didn’t.
