I'm Like A Superhero. Call Me Basketball

I Can't Play The Game Of Basketball And Live My Life On What Other People Expect Me To Do Or What They Think I Should Do. That Doesn't Make Me Happy. What Makes Me Happy Is Being Able To Make Plays For My Teammates, To Be Able To Represent The Name On The Back Of My Jersey.

I Hope I Can Help Guys Coming Out Of High School, If They Need Advice. I Know The Ins And Outs Of Everything.

My Father Wasn't Around When I Was A Kid, And I Used To Always Say, 'why Me? Why Don't I Have A Father? Why Isn't He Around? Why Did He Leave My Mother?' But As I Got Older I Looked Deeper And Thought, 'i Don't Know What My Father Was Going Through, But If He Was Around All The Time, Would I Be Who I Am Today?'

In Fourth Grade, I Missed 82 Days Of School. Out Of 160.

But Now, Being A Parent, I Go Home And See My Son And I Forget About Any Mistake I Ever Made Or The Reason I'm Upset. I Get Home And My Son Is Smiling Or He Comes Running To Me. It Has Just Made Me Grow As An Individual And Grow As A Man.
