My Last Birthday

That morning I was so happy and filled with excitement. I came into school and everyone was happy to see me. Even people I barely knew were happy to greet me with a sincere birthday congratulations. It was awesome because I had so many new friends and all of us were joyful on that day.

After my college career I decided to enter the NBA draft I was worried because what if I did not get picked but then the fifth overall pick for the Thunder was me and I felt real good I was not worried anymore and that was my career playing for the Thunder. I made a couple grand every month with the money I made I bought a big house down stairs there is a basketball court and in the back yard, there is a pool and a hot tube. My job is at Hy-Vee and I am making good money there as

It was Saturday April sixteenth. I had just gotten back from Hawaii not even twelve hours ago. I couldn't contain my excitement, it was rave day

Everyone knows Michael jordan is the best NBA player of all time.However he never made his middle school or high school team. He never gave up. It just motivated him to do better. He kept pushing himself to get better. All accomplishments make you feel better about yourself.One thing I want to accomplish is getting a job after high school because I can earn money for collage, purchase a car, and give the work experience.

I never apprehended how fortunate I was until my life changed on December twelfth two thousand thirteen. I was only a freshman still trying to adjust to new people and a new school. I would have never thought I had to become a responsible adult much earlier in life. It all began with one phone call from my mother saying she just been struck by a car.

Throughout my career as an NBA player, I have reached many milestones. For example, I was the first overall pick coming straight from highschool (Mcmenamin 80-81). I have had many stat records as well. Some like scoring 30,000 points, being 7th on the all time scoring list, and many more.

I remember the day like it was yesterday, even though it was roughly three years ago. I

In 10 years I see myself living the luxury lifestyle in Hawaii with a beautiful educated woman with 3 kids and 2 dog. I will be playing professional basketball overseas with the Hawaii Warriors. It's always been my dream to play overseas basketball or play in the NBA, with dedication and hard work I can achieve my goals. Once I make it I want to give back to my family and the community. I understand that my parents work hard for me to get me where I am today, so I want to ensure them that they will never have to work again. Second I'm going to give back to the community, I plan on opening a basketball complex gym for the kids, then I want to open a cheer leading and gymnastics complex for the girls and boys. I will already have my business

For basketball I have achieved a lot, in my mind. My sister and I have a team, The Lady Warriors, that has traveled out of state quite a bit. My team and my family worked together to raise enough money to we could go to more places and get more experience. Lady Warriors has gone to Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Las Vegas, and

I see myself in the NBA or the NFL, making enough money to have a house and food for my family. I will be visiting my family on my off days and helping them with what they need, and making sure I take care of myself, and keeping myself in shape. I’m going to be in the NBA, hopefully on the Chicago Bulls; my favorite team in the NBA because it's my home state. My favorite player Derrick Rose is on their and that team is a good team. My school has a basketball team I got people in my school that can help me with my goals. In five years I see myself you're in a basketball or a football team, having good grades and keeping my healthy. I'm going to be the oldest child in my house I'm I have to watch out for them especially my little brother Daniel.

Emerging adulthood stage can be challenging, but the challenges are what shapes these individuals to better themselves. “Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things, you need a plan and not quite enough time” (CITE, JAY. This quote is very profound and true because as emerging adults head into real life and the world, there will be many dreams and accomplishments that these individuals want to pursue. Without a plan, these emerging adult’s lives will be chaotic and no direction will be enforced. Planning is key to success. “Do something that’s an investment in who you might want to be next” (CITE, JAY). As these emerging adult’s complete college, work with different organizations, or want to become married, these adults should proceed

It was my birthday. Two things that I never thought would happen. One was me getting a chocolate lab I named Hazel,the second was losing a loved one.These two thing happened on one day that I will love and hate for the rest of my life.

Of course I had dreams of playing professional sport like every other young male in the world but, a wise man spoke to me and he asked me how much my favorite basketball player makes on average, I did the research and Lebron James makes over 300 million dollars annually. Younger me got that information and as expected I held strong on my dreams of being a professional athlete until he showed me 0.0015% of Americans make it into the NBA.”Out of every 10,000 kids playing basketball in high school only 3 will make it to the pros. Note, this doesn’t mean they’re going to stay in the pros more than 5 seconds. This doesn’t mean they’re going to get a sneaker deal and be in a Pepsi commercial This simply means they’ll get drafted.” (Odds of Playing).

It wasn’t until the morning of Saturday, May 21, 2016 that I realized what the true feeling of unconditional love was. The moment a parent looks into his or her child’s eyes there is just so much love it’s unbelievable. People think they know what love is when they love a significant other, family member, or a close friend; however, that love is nothing compared to the love a parent experiences the day his or her child is born. That is the love I felt the moment I placed my beautiful baby boy on my chest.

Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers' license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
