My New Years Intentions

For the next year I want to become a stronger player on the basketball court and to keep doing good in school so I can open up more opportunity in my life. I want to be able to get scholarships not only for academics but also for basketball. Basketball is something I love doing and its what I want to do for the rest of my life. To get into the NBA you need at least one year of college tuition so I want to keep on doing good in school not only to get into the NBA, but what if it doesn't work out? I don't want to have little education and be stuck with a poor job. If I can't use this year to make myself do better on the court and in school then I feel like I would have just wasted a year. I want to make sure I get the best out of life and by doing good in school and in basketball I feel that this will help me achieve my goals in life. I just hope by improving my skills on the court it will help me be the best person I could be. I would love it if I was in NBA and the only way of getting there is hard work and practice. I know I can get there if its what I really want so thats why my intentions are to get better on the court and keep on doing good in school.

About me

My name is Benny and im 13 years old. I go to Heritage middle school. I love to play sports. My favorite sport is basketball. I also play volley ball and a sometimes baseball. My favorite color is red. I am Mexican American. My favorite food is tacos. I am a very athletic and love to play sports.

In 10 years...

In ten years us see my self coming out of four years in college and going into the NBA. I hope that I could play either for the Warriors or the Bulls, those are my two favorite teams. I also would like to have a nice car and house. That year I want to win rookie of the year and mvp. Also a championship and a all star mvp. Those are just goals for my first season. After that keep winning as much mvp's as I can and hopefully play for team USA. In ten years I would have liked to study sports medicine or sports journalism and do some thing with basketball sports.

Summer reading blog

      The title of my book is 47. The book is written by Walter Mosley.  In the book so far the main character 47 has had to leave his mother figure big mama flore to become a field slave. he has made friends in the shack they sleep in.  They are more Albert and champ Nolan. They give me advice about being a slave. He also found a runaway slave name tall John.

       Interesting part of the story so far there's a tall John was a runaway slave on a different plantation but somehow knew 47 his name  different plantation but somehow knew 47's name . He has told 47 that he is from beyond Africa. When they first met tall John told 47 that he had been looking for him. He told him that he was from beyond Africa. In the book on page 49,  47 says it feels as if I already knew him. 47 feels confused about how tall John has all the information he does. He barely met the guy but in the book  47 says I have complete trust in the runaway slave tall John. Page 49. I feel like they have a weird connection or relationship.
