Since I was a young boy I have always played sports. My first sport I played was
soccer; I have played every sport basketball baseball, football and basketball. Out of
every sport I played basketball and football was my best sports. I started playing football
when I was 7 years old. As I got older I started to become a real good basketball player.
In the 8th grade I played varsity for a privet school. I averaged 16 points per game so
now I knew that basketball was something I could dominate. Even though I was still
dominating football, that high school experience at a young age got my attention.
Going into the night grade I transferred to Nansemond River in Suffolk VA. They
were a pretty good team coming into the …show more content…
We lost in a four overtime game
to our rivals that week that Saturdays practice everybody was sluggish from the long
week, he was running ups to death squeezing all he could out of us. We started to
scrimmage and somebody let me score on them and I talked a little trash to my
defender he blows the whistle and stated to dig into me with insults. After that day we
never could see eye to eye know how he really felt about me now! I still lead the team in
scoring, checked the best player from the other team and lead the team in rebounds

our success. Colleges were interested in me but I didn’t know anything about SATs or

a year before I could play. So I chose to go to a junior college for two years and then
transfer to a four year college. Chesapeake College on the eastern shore of Maryland
was my school chose. I did a year of school there played basketball was the top scorer
on the team on the number two team in the region that year. Due to lack of financial
support and lack of knowledge on how to go about getting scholarships and loans I left
school. I had been out of school for two years until now starting this year at
