| My brother being his ballin' self |
This is my 17 year old brother, doing what he loves. He is wonderful and better than me in many ways. He is my best friend, my hero and my inspiration for many things. Recently, I allowed him to be my inspiration for a class assignment. I am currently taking a creative writing class and we have no boundaries, so I wrote about a boy that loves basketball.
To my surprise, the story got a decent amount of praise from my instructor and my classmates. "I don't know if you ever played basketball," one classmate said (I did for 10 years, by the way.), "but I feel like I'm back in high school. That's exactly how it is." I was also afraid of what my brother would say if he read it, but he said it was "badass," so I feel comfortable enough to post it here. Read on if you'd like to.
