Autobiography

My life has been better than ever and it is also the most important thing to me. Taking care of me and my needs and wants is major part in my life, other than school which is 80% of what is going on in my life at the moment. Sometimes I have a habit following the wrong path and you know it’s wrong, and I still tend to do what’s wrong. Following the right track has earned me better grades in school, and I also started studying more. People who listen and have strong minds can overcome wrongs and come to the light. In my life I have seen friends go down the wrong paths, a path that I would never even start to follow.
Growing up as a kid I live in and around projects. People like me sometimes makes that as an excuse for doing stupid things like making wrong decisions that could cost them their lives. But the biggest excuse for living in the so called “hood” or projects is that it’s hard there is a reason for not graduating. It is hard growing up in that way but you know its going to be hard that does why you work hard to leave places like that so you want be stuck there your whole life. Growing up as a kid knowing that you weren’t born into wealthy family sometimes mentally hurt a person who knows from experience, especially being around people who can’t overcome that fear. I was always taught that education is the most important thing in life. My goal is to accomplish that by graduating and making my parents and friends happy. Some of my friends had this opportunity and didn’t proceed with it, but my plans are to go even further.
Being a teenager as I am, you have to have a fascination with sports, sports sometimes keep me and peers around my age out of a lot of trouble by keeping you active with something positive. Me at this point in life I give ESPN ratings for watching sportscenter more than half the time I’m at home. I am also a big fan of football; I have two favorite teams in the NFL and only one that I really am a fan of in college which is the Georgia Bulldogs. The Indianapolis Colts is my favorite team and Payton Manning is my favorite player and the best quarterback at this time in 2008. The other team I am a fan of is the Atlanta Falcons only because their like the home team because of their location here in Georgia. The Atlanta Falcons made the biggest mistake that they could ever do by releasing Micheal Vick from their staff. Me personally I think he shouldn’t of never did jail time for dog fighting which isn’t a serious crime, but black males just have a passion for pit-bull fights which some people will never understand the such culture. But sometimes there are things that you do that you have to pay for even though they don’t seem wrong but if you do it best to believe that the media will make an example out of you that’s why you really have to keep a cool head when your into things like sports which is a great thing for children to do in their spare time.
Life here in America has been great all of my eighteen years, even with the ups and downs I have had. I made a big mistake my 9th grade year in high school I chose to hang around the wrong group of friends. Me and those friends started to smoke which was the worst thing I could ever do because now I regret it because its hard to stop. But once I realized what I was doing wasn’t right I had got back onto the right path which I have been following for about 3 ½ years now. I now have plans to graduate from Classic City High School here in Athens Georgia the later pursue my dreams in College. Once I Finish here I would like to walk on to a baseball team of some college but if I don’t have that opportunity I would like to just go and major in business management or even being an architect. This is my life from past to present summarized, but I still hope to be successful in something in ten years from now.
