First Pair Of Jordan’s I was in California and it was during Christmas vacation. I was really confused on what I wanted for Christmas, so every day I would go online looking for things to buy. When the days progressed, I started seeing people with lavish shoes and clothes. I really wasn’t a big shoe person but something about shoes I saw caught my attention. My mom would ask here and there what I would like for Christmas, but I would answer with a shrug of my shoulders. My brother would give me suggestions on gifts but I would eventually turn them down. But as time went by, I would go walking around shops until I stood in front of a store named Flight Club. The doors were opened and the music was blasting from their speaker that you could probably hear from a mile away. I was intrigued to find out what was in that store, and find out all the shoes or products that they …show more content…
Maybe I will think about it, but thanks for suggesting that mom.”, I replied quietly
When we got home, I got on my Uncle’s computer and started to research on those shoes and other retail prices that maybe were cheaper. I really wanted those shoes but just thinking of many other things I could get with that kind of money made me doubt my choice. While I was typing my mom came into my room and sat next to me. " You know I can tell when you are lying. I know you want those shoes, I can tell when you picked that pair up and looked at it.", she said " I do want it, but the price is really expensive and I could buy other things with that money," I replied She sighed and told me that she was willing to buy it for me and that was my only gift. I went quiet and finally smiled to an agreement. I was so happy that I was getting my first pair of Jordan's, and couldn't wait when I go back to Flight
Afterwards, I had a talk with my mom about the things that happened during that night.
Our first stop was a city that did not have very many local attractions that we were interested in seeing. It is home to the Oakland Raiders and Golden State Warriors. Too bad we did not stop by these two stadiums to see what they looked like in-person. I was able to take a picture of one side of the downtown areas that we visited. I am glad that it was not congested during the time that we explored the area. All of the buildings appeared from the outside to be run down and unattractive which really disappointed me. They were also created using light colors and stacked very close together. For my first time visiting the area, it did not seem at all as it appears to look like on television. I guess that is why it is important to not
Then we went back to my aunt’s place and got ready to do some shopping for our new apartment. My aunt drove us to Walmart and then took us to Macy’s. I was amazed to see size of Walmart the first time. Also it
After Billy Weaver went missing the detectives started investigating. They found out where Billy was working and went and talked to Billy’s boss. Billy’s boss told the detective that Billy had come into town yesterday on a train and then went to a bed and breakfast. The detective asked what bed and breakfast.
As you can tell Michael Jordan had been threw many and many different things in his life. Some are crazy and upright, while others are downside and not as crazy. Things that are upright about his life was when he got drafted to play NBA and when he won the olympics twice for his team. The downside to his life was that he had dropped out of college junior year so he can play the NBA and if he had never been so good he would of never had a good bright future.
We found the store that I like to shop at. The store was empty because everyone was in school. I was able to find two chokers, a pink furry sweater, a pink skirt and black high heel shoes. After that we got something to eat and then we went back home. When my dad got
I have received many things, but there is one thing that has stood out to me, that would be the cheer shoes that my mom got for me before the cheer season starting in June. I got a pair of cheer shoes this past October and they were fine, but my mom noticed my feet starting hurting more and more, because the support has worn out of them. My mom then bought me a new pair of shoes. You're probably thinking ok what's that matter, you got a new pair of shoes. Its not like I asked for them, it's not like I had to have them, it was a thought that my mom had to make me feel more comfortable.
“Come on guys,” I yelled. I heard the screech of the referee’s whistle. Rushing to the bench, I heard the referee call out “Timeout, Heat.” Everything was on the line and our team’s championship hopes, being foremost on our team’s minds, was all coach could scream about. “I’m not going to tell you how to play basketball,” he yelled out. “That’s your job. I’m just going to say that right now, to us, this is a championship game. If we win this, we move on to the championship. If not, at least let us fall valiantly.” That got the whole team riled up as we rushed back onto the court. The crowd, encouraging as always, yelled out their approval on the fact that we were giving it our all. With just sixteen seconds left in the game and our team down by four, something special had to happen or we were done for the season.
The summer was approaching its end and it was time to go back school shopping. I was excited to go back to school to see my friends and get back to Marching Band. So on the last week of summer I went shopping on tax-free weekend with my Dad. First we went shopping for school supplies at Walmart. I got all of the necessities like pencils, paper, and binders. Then we went to the mall to look at some clothes. We were going to go to Lenox but it was getting late so we went to Stonecrest. When we got there I went straight to Foot Locker to see if they had the shoes that I had been wanting. As I approached the shoes, my jaws dropped because I could not believe that they were on sale! I thought that the shoes would be more money than that. I immediately
Have you ever had a teacher that you just couldn’t seem to get along with no matter how hard you try? No doubt you have if you have finished school or are in school now. Just like we have or had to deal with this sort of situation, so does Scout. In chapter two of, “To Kill A Mockingbird,” Scout is attending school for the first time and it is not going well. Scout first learns that she will have to act differently than she does at home with regards to Jem. Then her teacher, Miss Caroline, learns that Scout can read and blames Scout’s father for teaching her wrong. Later, Miss Caroline asks all the students to take out their lunches and offers to lend money to William Cunningham since he doesn’t have a lunch or the money to pay for one. This
It all started in the Eighth grade after attending a sneaker convention where vendors buy, sell and trade their inventory. I entered the convention with a pair of sneakers that I had initially purchased for $160 and was able to sell them for $300. That one experience left me both in shock and curious as to why anyone would pay more than retail price for worn sneakers. I learned that sneaker companies like Nike only release a few limited models each year helping me realize that these sneakers, even used could be sold to recoup my initial investment.
It was one day before our vacation. We didn't have any tennis shoes, so we went to lubbock. When we got to lubbock we all got a nice pair of Nike's from the Nike Outlet. I wanted a pair of knee high socks. When i asked my mom she said no. I begged and begged my mom till she said yes and then we left to go eat. After we went home.
Like everyone in the culture, My love and admiration of the culture began with certain experiences, and in particular it began with sneakers. Like many sneaker lovers, the love of sneakers came about from sports. As a kid, my father used to watch replays of some of Michael Jordan’s best games with the Chicago Bulls. While watching some of
For a majority of people in the world, if they were to wake up with 350 million dollars, and would be able to be fully retired by 38 years old, then they would be very content and happy with their lives. Being able to wake up every day in a big mansion, lying with your family by the poolside, not worrying about financial issues for yourself or loved ones, and lastly having the great opportunity for you and your whole family, to not work a day the rest of your lives. It is an ideal situation that approximately 99.99% of people would want. But, an outlier, challenges those astonishing odds, by using their influence and popularity, to help out and make a difference. Not
“Thank you ma’am.” She then slammed the door shut. So I went to go buy the new shoes and everything turned out they I wanted them to
