¨ Everything has a price, it is up to you how you pay. ¨

Research or study is a quality that everyone should have, if not it shows how box-minded the person is, instead of open to new ideas. Along with academics, I’ve played basketball my whole life and have developed a passion for it. I love the game and everything about it. I have had the pleasure of playing for my high school team and other associations. The game of basketball provides discipline, which is one thing everyone should have. That is why I want to join the air-force after college. I believe the United States military provides plenty of discipline to their cadets. And, along with this I want to help contribute to my country and see the world beyond my neighborhood. The goal of success will be nothing without the consequences of trials and tribulations intervening. I have been taught my whole life that practice makes mistakes and mistakes create success by learning from them. At the end of the day, success isn’t given, you have to want and strive for it. No one really knows how their future will play out, but I know that I won’t let doubt or rejection stop me from being a successful black man in America.
