My Autobiography

    Hi my name is TL and my goals in life are to go to college, get a scholarship, and help my parents out like they do me. the most important is graduate from high school because to get to college you will have to graduate high school first. I want to go to college for basketball and to major in business. I want to major in business because my brother did it in high school and I want to try it also. another thing is that I want to have my own basketball program. I want to teach young kids how to play the game of basketball and the fundamentals and how you can stay mentally focus in a game. I love to play basketball. I play basketball at Fairfax HS.


     I love to stay active and stay on my grind because I want to make my family proud. and also I like to stay in shape. my favorite subject is English because I like to write how I feel and I can get emotions out and how I feel at the moment. I just like to write my opinion on things. in the future I want to help younger kids how to express themselves and if they don't know how to write I want to teach them.


     I just want to do good in life because I am on a mission to succeed and by me messing around and hanging out with the wrong people I know I wont get no where in life because its hard as it is out here.


     My goals in high school are to pass all my classes with a C or higher and try to get a 3.0gpa. I want to pass my SATS. I want to keep working hard in basketball and get my handles together. Its one thing I always tell myself is that don't give up Im going to keep striving for what I want and keep going until its accomplished. this is important to me because I don't want to be struggling when I get older trying to make something out of myself.

writing pretest

   Margaret Mead: to me M. Margaret EPT writing is saying that success is a confusion to americans because its hard succeed out her. this world is hard to get through its so many obstacles in the united states  but we know that everybody has a talent or talents that they can showcase that can get them somewhere in life. that talent or talents can make you succeed in life but you just have to practice and not give up to get there because everybody can get there but you just have to try.           


      Also she is saying to me that you cant out someone down because their talent for succeeding is not good as yours. you have to encourage them to do better. If you don't respect them for what they do then say something positive about what there doing or give them a example of whats right and whats wrong. Also you don't want nobody to not succeed you should want everybody to succeed because we all know its hard out here in this world. To me I will want everybody to succeed because having people that is trying to do what u do and succeed is  good thing because it wont be as hard in life. but there will be a little competition.
