Personal Narrative: A Place In A Small Town

It all began on December 7, 1956, in a rural Indiana town called West Baden; Larry Bird was born (Borden n. pag.). His family’s life in West Baden and French Lick was anything but glamorous. However, Bird said, “I just never realized how poor we were. Nobody in French Lick was wealthy” (Borden n. pag.). This poor community lifestyle led to his eventual interest in basketball, as he and his brothers couldn’t afford other entertainments. They instead competed against each other in any sport they could. Larry’s brothers helped him improve as a player by beating him so badly that he wanted to “practice his skills in order to beat them” (Borden n. pag.).

I walked up the steps and walk down the hallway of john light and notice two basketball players with the gym bag and ball. I automatically assumed they were about to go shoot around. As I sat I notice the two were watching ESPN on television; analyzing each player move on the highlights and one of the players said, “ I got that move, let’s go try It

With four minutes left in the game, Jimmy passes to Frank and Frank drains a three. The next Bull’s possession Jimmy hits a floater. The lead is three points for the Heat. But just as things started to go well, Vick hits a step back three pointer. But Jimmy answers right back with a three of his own. The Heat call a timeout. After the break, Frank gets a steal but misses the lay-up! The game looks to be over with only fifteen seconds left. But Vick being Vick jacks a three with ten seconds left and misses! Jimmy grabs the board and outlets to Frank. Frank dribbles down the court and does a step-back three. As the whole crowd and people watch with awe, the ball floats up and makes a perfect “swoosh” sound! The ref blows the whistle and calls a foul! With this free throw, he could win the finals! He thought back to all the critics and people, and even himself who thought the Bulls couldn’t do it. He thought of all those times Vick had called him out and then he

Such is another week in the dramatic life of LeBron James. Another ‘quake? Big deal. It’s like he lives in a village called Frackingtown.

A couple minutes later Lavar walked into Melo’s room. He was playing NBA 2K 18. He was on the park playing with some of his friends.

Matt’s season had started in the middle of October. He was so excited, because basketball was a sport he loved. He was an excellent shooter when it came to basketball. His three’s were usually drained, without no problem. He was ready for basketball to start. He usually played point guard. He went to all of the practices and was ready for the basketball season to start. He was so hyped on the day he walked into the doors at school. He was so excited to kick off the season vs. El paso-Gridley. After school ended the basketball team had gone to Michael's to eat before the game. After eating they stopped at BP for some Gatorade. After BP it was time to come back to the school to get ready. During warm ups before the game,

He said “I’m here for a game against the Lakers, and I wanted to give away some free front row tickets to the game, and since I feel bad about dunking on a 7 year old boy. So, do you want the tickets for you and your family.”

Surprisingly, the metal door smashed against the wall creating a boom. That is when the real battle

Lebron was just an ordinary person who was living with his parents at the time when something very happened. Lebron was down in the basement watching TV when he heard something. He then got up and before he could even walk or move he flew backwards. Later on he found out what had made the whole house shake and what hit the house, it was a missile of some sort. Lebron finds out that his mom and dad are missing and he has to find them.

Lebron Dribbles the ball up the court and dribbles through 2 defenders and fakes for a dunk and past the ball to Bugs to shoot the ball at the three point line. As if everything was in slow motion he shoots the ball hoping it goes in, the whole crowd and both teams are following the ball as it soars the sky and then it finally drops in the basket like a bomb and the crowd goes crazy 98-96 with two minutes left. The monsters become furious as they pass the ball up the court, the biggest monsters shoots the ball from the three point line and the it drops in 30 secs left and it’s 101-96. The space jam team calls a timeout to call a timeout to stop the clock and Lebron gives a quick pep talk “ You guys are doing great, if we win or lose never stop believing. Put all you hands in team on three, team on three, one, two three, TEAMM! Bugs passes the ball to lebron and lebron passes the ball to Daffy and he shoots it and miss. The monsters rebound and take the ball up the court and try to run the clock out with only ten seconds left. Lebron comes out of nowhere and steals the ball and throw the ball down court with out four seconds left and the ball drops in as soon as the buzzers rings. 101-99, we were close team and we played our best. How about we go out and get something to eat before the they change the world into a team park. To be

Eighteen years ago Julie Carol Parton (my loving mother) and Ric Parton (my inspirational father) brought Logan Parton (that's me) into this unique and vastly changing world. Little did I know that one day I was going to set immensely challenging goals to achieve. I grew up in a small town, near the corner of Indiana, known as Vevay. For the early portions of my life I lived on a middle sized farm with my family. There always was two different perspectives within our household. On one side of the house there was my father and my oldest sister Christina, and on the other side was my mother and my middle sister Melisa. The perspective that my father and oldest sister shared was that they both felt the want to make money and move away from Vevay, on the other side my mother and middle sister had the mindset of wanting to be farmers and

The door knob started to turn. I ran out as fast as my two legs could possibly go. “LeBron James!”, I heard behind me. A loud sensation of fear rushed up through my veins. The stairs were only a few meters away. One quick turn and I was going up the stairs. Just before the wall covered my view of him I took one last glimpse and saw him with a basketball and a gorilla

The game had just started has Steph drained a three and they said and on the screen they were putting up a contest for if they call your seat number, you get to try and shoot a three from half court and win $5,000 and a 5 day trip to Hawaii. So after the first quarter was over they were going to announce the number. “Alright folks.” said the announcer. “We are going to announce the winner of that will be trying to win the jackbox prize.” “Alright, the section is in the 100’s. The row is 2 and the number is 2.” I can’t believe it. They called the spot I was in and on the screen showed me sitting as cheerleader were right next to me holding up a sign saying, “You won.” “122 is the winner.” said the announcer in a loud voice. So after that the second quarter started and then it was halftime as the cheerleaders came by and took me to the court. “What’s your name kid?” said the
