I’m down at the half with two years left.
I need a second wind or the series will be swept.
I have three players against me and they’re really the “Big 3.”
My laziness, the ACTs, and homework put the entire defense on me.
I have 2.43 points per game, no assists and 25/36 on my PLAN test.
But I have to get more points if I want to be the best.
Lord, please help me. I feel like this game is a five-on-one.
I just want to be the one on top when all is said and done.
After failing this past year, I felt like I lost the game.
If I lose the second half, all of me will die and I’ll never be the same.
To me losing is dying.
To me winning is flying.
I just want to get my wings back and dunk on all my opponents.
Winning and moving on to Florida, will be my grand victory components.
Now I’m waiting like LeBron for a championship ring.
Now, I have to make every basket count because being successful means everything.
So come September 4th comes the start of Part II of this championship series.
It’s time for me to be the one who knows what he’s doing and use theories.
The quest for my championship title begins September 4th.
This is the year that I have to show all that I am worth.
I have to take everything to the basket.
As I said before, if I lose I will be in a casket.
