Some things that I findinterest in are…because…. The things that I find interest in are playing sports. I find interest in the because i’m good at some sports like football and basketball. I also find interest in these sports because they help me relieve stress and helps me get through my problems. By playing sports it helps me be a team player and helps me prepare for other obstacles in my future life. Being interested in playing sports helps me stay out of trouble and from around bad people. That’s what I am interested in.
My Greatest Accomplishment was… My greatest accomplishment was when I won MVP in my AAU tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina. I hit the gamewinner that tournament. The score was tied 4747 with 3 seconds left. A player on my team shot the ball and it hit the rim and I grabbed the rebound and put it back up. We played 5 games that tournament I was the tournament's leading scorer scoring 30,27,20,19,and 32 in all five games. I was crowned MVP of that tournament because of the points I scored the whole tournament. I was also selected to the “Battle of the Borders” (tournament name) 1st team as one of the best players in the tournament. That’s My greatest accomplishment.
A person that I really admire...because.... A person that I really admire is Lebron James because he came from the projects and still made it to the NBA. Many nights he wasn’t able to eat because his mom didn’t have enough money to feed him. He had to stay with his one of his Pop Warner football coaches for along time because his mom lost her house. Lebron was raised in the projects where there were many shootings. Coming from the projects to making it to the NBA is a true definition of someone that can be admired.
I would describe myself as… because… I would describe myself as a stubborn person that never gets satisfied. I rarely take credit for most things I do because I know there’s always room for improvement. I never get satisfied because, I always have the mindset that I can be better. I’m stubborn because even when I do something right I always say that I did a bad job or if have a good game in sports i'll say I have to get better that's a bad game.
It gets on my nerves when… It gets on my nerves when people try and make me sing. I don’t like singing and nor is that what I want to do when I get older. Singing is kind of boring and makes me lose breath sometimes. Making me sing also gets on my nerves because I don’t really know how to sing. Any music class I have they always sing in a talking voice but I really didn’t learn how to and don’t want to learn.
My favorite game show or game is…because… My favorite game is 2k16. It is my favorite game because basketball is my favorite sport. On 2k16 you can do many fun and exciting things that are basketball involved. The graphics are much better than any other 2k game. It has the updated rosters and rookies from the last draft on the game so it makes it much better. It also has some teams from overseas.
I like to spend my free time doing…because… I like to spend my free time playing basketball. I like to because that's my dream to be in the NBA. But to get there I have to practice so I can be better than I was yesterday. I love basketball with a passion that’s why I continue to practice everyday. When you want to succeed in basketball as much as you want to breathe you would be fully committed to getting better.
If I could describe my dream house…If I could describe my dream house it would be a four story house. My house would have 5 bathrooms like a NBA player’s house. I would have security watching my house. I would also have a big gate so nobody can see what's going on in my house. My house would have a big pool and a hot tub. The insides of my house would be mostly white, tan, and a shiny black. I would have tubs in hallways at my house.
My favorite pet is… because…My favorite pet is a dog because dogs are so playful. They have a lot of energy when you don't. They can cheer you up when you’re feeling down. They make me feel comfortable knowing they will protect you. They also guard your house when you’re not there.
My holiday break was…My holiday break was so much fun and exciting. First of we won the christmas tournament at Chestnut Oaks. We went 50 in the tournament. For christmas I got everything I wanted. My ps4 came with 2k16 and Madden 15.
My New Year’s resolution is… because… My New Year’s resolution is to stay off social media a little bit more. Some things on social media isn't meant for the public to know that's one reason. Some people also put disturbing things on there. Being involved in sports can break your focus if you are on social media a lot. Social media can also influence the way you do things because most things are showed different from how you learned it at home. Social media is just way too much and i'm focused on sports right now so that's my New Year’s resolution.
