My Founding Fathers

Thank you for my freedom because I wouldn’t  be able to get this marvelous education without my founding fathers. I can’t really imagine what they had to go through just to this country the way it is now.  Freedom means a lot to me for many reasons like we have democracy and many countries don’t have the freedom of democracy, some are dictated countries or have the family presidents.

This country has everything its every needed and wanted. Some things that we have are things that we are blessed with, such as having the freedom of speech. If we the people don’t like something we have a fair chance of changing it. This is some of the greatness that this country has to offer.

As you can see there is many reasons that shows us how great this country is to have all of these things. Also how grateful I am to be here and it makes me proud of how far this country has gotten.  We did have some struggles in the past but somehow we overcame those struggles and became the great nation that we are today.

Blood and Basketball Cause/Effect Piece

Authors Note-  A young man is offered a chance to play college basketball but gets stopped up by his troublesome brother.
The book that I read recently was called Blood and basketball. It's about this troublesome kid who was invited to play with a college basketball team. As soon as he started playing college ball his brother was getting out of jail. While his brother is out of jail Him and his brother starts to get into a lot of mischief until he has to make a decision to leave his brother or stay with his future. And he does choose to leave his brother and stay with his career.


The main character, Dale, had a hard life growing up. Now he gets a chance to play with a college basketball team because they think that he is a great player, and could have a really bright future ahead of him. The problem is, with his brother getting released from jail he is becoming late for basketball practices and missing his curfews. Although it's a difficult problem, there is still a solution. Dale needs to do the right thing and tell his brother that he cant keep hanging out if he is going to keep getting him in trouble, continue messing with his future, and stop putting him in an awkward and difficult position to choose between fun and the right thing. Dale finally chooses the right thing and sets the record straight. I think that this falls into the category of Person vs Self because he is fight with himself to choose between fun with his brother or work for his future.

Air Jordans

The thing you get for the first of your life and you don’t know why you, you don’t know what it’s for you just know that it is yours now and that it’s new well new to you. 

The first pair of Air Jordan’s I got was for my eighth birthday.  My mom told me that she doesn’t want me to mess these up right away because they were so expensive. I wanted to wear my new shoes to school the next day but my mom said no because she thinks that I was going to get them dirty but I disagreed. I brought them to school the next day despite what my mother said so I was being very careful to not mess them up. Until recess came and I was running around and playing in them but when recess was over I saw that my new pair of shoes had dirt and mud all over it and I knew it was over for me.

So I try to clean it off during class but it just wasn’t coming off. The rest of the day I was just wondering how I was going to explain my messy shoes to my mom, But when I came home and I told her she said she already knew I brought  it to school

I was waiting for a punishment but she didn’t say anything she just kept watching T.V it was very awkward.

The next I find out that she bought me two pairs of Jordan’s she told me she got one pair of Jordan’s free but the other pair she got half off because she knew I was going to mess them up. I thought to myself like am I that predictable. But I guess nobody knows you like your mom.
