  4. The Basketball Dreamer pt.1 70,000 fan screaming He is as nervous as he has even been in his life He’s shaking and gets Goosebumps All eyes are on him This is his time All the blood, sweat, tears, were all worth it Just for this one moment

  5. The Basketball Dreamer pt.2 His team is down by two with two seconds left His team has possession of the ball They inbound the ball to him He shoots a fade away three And….and… ITS GOOD!! He wins the NBA championship for his team He is the hero But, He flashes back to reality while alone in the gym No fans, no other players, just him The he kisses his ball and says to it “We’ve got a long way to go”

  6. Prose: confidence • In some time ago, there was a student and his teacher. The teacher gave the student a simple problem and the student solved it. Once done, the teacher questioned the student by asking him if he was sure he had the right answer over and over again. The more the teacher asked, the less the student believed he got the right answer. Finally, the student gave up and said he didn’t know the answer. The teacher laughed and told him he had the right answer and that the lesson learned was to always have confidence in yourself no matter what you do or what anyone else says.

  7. “Show Me Something” song rewrite I sit and reminisce on them brothers no longer here And how I used to hit the mall and yall was always there I’ve seen my friends get in trouble with the law and yeah That stuff cut me like I was sitting in a barber chair because I don’t want to see them locked behind them bars in there And I don’t want to see them stretched out in a coffin yeah But don’t worry about me because its almost here I’m talking about the revolution I am Paul revere No need to cry baby please you can pause them tears Because I promise I’m going to get us out of here

  8. Where I’m from pt.1 Where I’m From I’m from 1709 Zimmerman court a one story home with the most love in the world just an only child unknowingly traveling down an unknown road and not knowing why I was a little butter baby aka peanut and buzzer bee at the time

  9. Where I’m From pt.2 I’m from those preschool and kindergarten days, With Mrs. Nazneen who changed my life forever The Frequent days spent with selena from across the street, Who I have not seen since The barbershop days at Mr A’s And the haircuts always hurt But he really took care of me and the atmosphere was great I’ve only seen him once since The days when Thomas the tank engine, Were more than toys, but a new adventure When brianmcknight and KCI and JOJO songs meant so much And they still do When the fisher price basketball hoop was so precious to me And the moments when my sister first came into my life, And changed mine forever

  10. Where I’m From pt.3 I’m from those days at 2913 Chambers Dr. When dreams began to stay dreams And I began to face reality From those elementary school days at northlanding My first time ever at public school, and some of the best days in my life from those playground days on the basketball court, when what was just fun back then is now a love for the game today the football games every Friday with my Grandfather’s son and the times when he began to show me how to become a man • Simba and Mufasa

  11. Where I’m From pt.4 I’m from the days with my family The most important thing I have and ever will have the love that is rarely told but always shown the family reunions every year that I always cherish and still do I reside in Virginia Beach Where I have lived my whole life But Its more than that Its about the journey from 1709 Zimmerman CT. To 2913 Chambers Dr. and the road in between That’s where I’m from

  12. There is no greater agony • I feel this is mostly true because we all have those time when something has happened in life and we just want to get it out. And the more we keep it inside the more we get anxious to tell it. Also, it affects us negatively in almost every way but especially emotionally. But when we finally do let it out, we feel so much better about ourselves and the situation.
