My Purpose of this Blog

I have dedicated my life to basketball for over 15 years. Even when I was 11 years old, I dreamed of going to fantastic places and meeting big people such as John Stockton. I even imagined fantasies of asking famous basketball players tips and maybe asking Kareem Abdul Jabbar to a 1v1. I played high school basketball and was cut from the freshmen team and JV team as a sophomore. I thought to myself, "No more of this. No more getting cut. No more feeling sorry. No more dreams. Time to make it a reality." It was that time when I knew that my basketball life had been given birth.

I then made it to varsity in my junior year and senior year. I was a starting point guard for my team. Everyone thought I was new, because my skills greatly surpassed my skills from my freshmen and sophomore year. I then was invited to play at UCLA, and I hastily accepted at this golden opportunity. I was feeling fabulous because playing at a college level meant that I truly was great. I was rising up to the top 100 point guards of the nation until tragedy struck. I was diagnosed with osteochondrodysplasia(yes, I could remember the name). I later discovered I had diabetes, but it rarely effects me. I didn't pay attention to my conditions, because I was living a great life. I then was told by a doctor to never play competitive basketball. My mind told me to keep on going, but I felt my body's response. The good thing was that I had a 4.0 in college so far. I then wanted to somehow show my knowledge to the world so here I am now. I hope you enjoy this blog's contents.
