Michael Jordan and I
Have you ever met a special person ,that is famous? Well I did. One day I was watching tv and someone knocked on the door, I answered it. I noticed the tallness from a basketball player then I noticed it was Michael jordan. He is a famous basketball player.He started talking to me. "Would you parents let me take you to "Chicago" for a prize from "Kids Choice Sports?","he said "I will ask my parent's right now". "They said for how much time i'm going to be gone out of the house." "We are going to be out of the house for one day." "I will go tell my parents right now"." They said if i'm gone longer than a day to text them why."
Morning: In the morning I packed up to get ready. He knocked at

We reserved a master hotel room. We noticed there was a kitchen that's an island. There is a mini refrigerator,stove,microwave,plates,bowls,forks,spoons, butter knives,and cups. In the living room there was a black slim sofa,flat screen tv,and Glacier white PS4, also with Glacier white controllers. There was a note in the living room table it says. The PS4 is for free we have a lot of them they are very new. Next, was two rooms one for Michael,and for me. There was a bed with a pillow,sheets,and blankets. There is a closet,flat screen tv,and a bathroom.Afterward we looked around the building and we decided to play video …show more content…
When we got there and we went inside it was humongous. He started to put his bag and his stuff down on the seat, I put my bag close to his so I won't lose it. He started to teach me some tricks,hoops,and moves. When I tried a slam dunk it hit the rim and I was hanging on the rim too,then I slipped and landed feet first. I noticed that I broke my leg because it felt like it was burning and being cooked by a fire from strangers. Michael Jordan called 911,they came very fast. When we got to our room they took me to a ct scan to see if I broke my leg, I did but they said there would be a medicine to help heal it in 40min. I needed to drink the medicine and then put a cast on it so I don't move it. After the 40 minutes were done they took the cast off. I felt relieved from all the pain and the itchiness of the cast that I had to wear. They said next time you break your leg just take this type of medicine, it was called "Fracture fixer". They let me keep the bottle of medicine in case I need it again.
Night: We went to the hotel and packed up to get ready to leave in the morning when we wake up.Then we went to the kitchen and made ourselves a peanut butter jelly sandwich. The bread was toasted very crispy. After that I made myself a buttered bread. I put my bread to toast for one minute. I grabbed the jar of butter, got a butter knife,and went to go get a glass of milk. By the time I got my stuff ready the timer was done. First
Hamlet isn't insane, he just acts insane and plays another character to fool people. The way Hamlet talks in verse or sane shows that he can act insane or act normal when he pleases. Hamlet also cracks jokes and says ignorant things whenever Hamlet watches the play with Ophelia. Beautiful Hamlet makes these brilliant schemes to find evidence on who killed his stunning father, like the play inside a play, an insane person could not do that.
"Dad wants me to stay here and live with him. Is that okay?" my son asked. "He's promised me all kinds of "neat stuff" and I can get to know my step family better.
Well I wake and I know we have a game. I wake up and eat a decent breakfast you don't want to eat to much so your stomach does not hurt when you start running. But the game is at 1:50 and i have a lot of time to get ready. Me and my dad go to the gym before games so I can warm up. But when we get back home it's about time to get ready for the game. After I get ready we got to the game and we are normally pretty early so i have time to warm up there to. But normally I am a starter so i'm on the court for jump ball. In the first quarter we went up by two but i did not play so well. After a couple minutes went through I told coach to take me out i was not playing good. Well know we are in the second quarter and I did not play this quarter now
“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.
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.
I fell in love with basketball 7 years ago. What began as a few trial trainings gradually grew into a deep passion for the sport. I realized that I had the flair for it as doing moves like layups came to me very naturally. All I had to do was to observe my coach do an example once, practice the move a few times, and I got it.
The cool thing about humans, is no two are exactly the same, every one is different in their own way. We’re all defined in unique ways, some by their jobs, some by their livelihood, or interests such as basketball. This is one of my favorite things to do in life, there's just nothing better than setting foot on that court. When basketball season starts to roll around, memories from past years come flooding in. Being able to smell the freshly popped popcorn all throughout the gym. Looking up at the crowd and seeing everyone in the stands cheering us on, arguing with refs about a call, or not really paying attention to the game at all. The feeling I get when I’m on the court is second to nothing. This is where I go when I need need to just get away and think.
My basketball is one of a kind because I received this great gift on Christmas day from my dad. What was so awesome that the rockets were playing! First, he gave me a wrapped box and I said in my mind ‘’what is it’’ second, I opened it and I was the supreme logo (a very expensive brand), and I thought wait could it be a basketball third, I opened the box and I see a supreme basketball to my knowledge. Then I see a signature and I asked who’s signature is it my dad said ‘’James Harden’’ my jaw dropped. I was so happy like a child on Christmas day.
I began playing Basketball freshmen year as a way to release my emotions and forget the thoughts that gave me stress or made me overthink. My coaches gave me the nickname of “Mean Darline” because of how tough and aggressive I would get when being on defense. Little did they know that I wasn’t good at that position because I loved Basketball but because it maintained me calm and allowed me to express myself in a socially approved activity. When the season was finished and I retired from Basketball after my sophomore year I went back to going to the gym three to four times a week. Gym workouts or any physical activity is great to rechannel one’s unacceptable impulses without others criticizing us for our actions.
“Are you interested in this?” , my dad asks multiple times about multiple sports. I as a four year old just learning about sports, and watching them with my family decide that basketball is for me. So I go on to rec league… I learn how to dribble, pass, and shoot. Time passes and by middle school I can shoot left-handed layups, cross-over behind my back and in between my legs. High school is here.. and I become even more advanced not just with fundamentals, but mentally, and even more aggressively, and physical. I have a purpose, I love the game, and I want to play it as long as I can.
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
Basketball was a new experience to me a few years ago, but i never realized I was going to love it. When I was younger, I’ve always wanted to play the sport of basketball, and I got my opportunity to play when I was in fifth grade at Monte Vista Elementary.
My basketball team and I were going head to head against Lamar Bruni Middle School for the second time that season. The parents loved to cheer us on and capture so many pictures of us, they were our cheerleaders all season long. We were 5-0 at the time and losing that game was not an option for any of my teammates nor the coaches. Unfortunately, I was not able to give it my all in that game due to me twisting my ankle in the third quarter.
In kindergarten, many usually want to be the line leader. For some, leadership comes naturally and taking charge of things is what they like to do. For others, it is easier to stay in the shadows and let other people lead. However, this leads to problems when one person or group pirates power and uses it to one’s advantage. In the novel, Animal Farm, the author, George Orwell, creates a story where animals revolt and expel their neglectful owner, Farmer Jones, from the farm. The pigs slowly start to form a dictatorship and rule over the other animals. They make up rules that benefit the pigs alone. Two pigs that fight for power, Snowball and Napoleon, begin to use fear and manipulation to get what they want while they
Chapter 11 Topic – Social Capital and Human Capital Throughout this course we have learned about the disproportionate amounts of social and human capital held by members of different classes. The poor and working classes having the least amount of social and human capital. The text states that, while at one time “tightly knit working-class communities” were the norm, in today’s age they have become very rare. Additionally, among the poor class, individuals “can have productive social capital, drawing on extended family members for various types of assistance (350).”
