While listening to the US Open from the USOpen app for my Android smartphone..I decided to go ahead and ask a question for #USOpenRadio on twitter regarding tennis... for the first time in my my life I did something like this.. My full name wasn't read plus I wasn't on regular radio but with the hashtag I asked the question and it was on internet radio...to me that is a huge milestone... then to hear the announcer say Sarah from Sacramento just completely made me happy and proud... Every day I'm overcoming some of the fear in my life of doing things like this..my confidence is building and I know that with each goal like this I'm closer to my dream..because I'm not giving up, I'm keeping the faith and I'm taking chances with things that I'm a little scared of or having butterflies.
After I tweeted that question I was like OMG!! I can't believe I did something like this... it was a little nerve racking to know that my question would be read and answered. Then when he said Sarah from Sacramento, I will read the question after the next serve from Murray again I was like OMG!! I can't believe this happening.. Finally he read the question while I was on the freeway I-5 driving home from work and I couldn't believe it...it was like a dream...again I know this isn't big for some people but for me I've never done anything like this...little by little more things like this will happen.
Thanks for listening, I had to share this on the internet for all to see because this too is part of my transition of being Transgendered.
