Hey guys it's Kobe Bryant as you know I am in the NBA because of one reason I never gave up. Starting from when I was 3 I was playing basketball on my mini hoop while my dad would be watching NBA games. When my years progressed and I reached the age of six my dad decided to move to Italy to play professional basketball their instead of in the 76er's where he used to play. Five years later I started shooting around in the gym hoops right after his Italian would finish their games. When I reached high school all I would work at would be basketball, right after my games in Lower Merion High school I would stay late at night and just shoot the ball. The problem I had most though was making friends this was a struggle because most of the people were annoyed that all I talked about and did was basketball. But because of this I am the person I am today even though I didn’t make any friends talking about only basketball I am know a basketball superstar. Right after my high school career I decided that since all I did was basketball and through the summer I would practice with the Philadelphia 76er's I wanted to head straight into the NBA, and that is exactly what I did. Many people criticized me for what I did but I didn't care about what they said I was still in the NBA and no one was going to stop what I loved to do.Lessons that everyone reading this blog can learn are to number one never give up your dreams. This is pretty hard to do because if you've ever wanted to play a sport or do something else and you are to short, skinny ext. you will get made fun of and they will call you names but if you have a dream always follow it and don't let anyone tell you different. Some things that you might have to give up for what you love might be your friends. I took this experience actually first hand because all I wanted to do was play basketball so people got annoyed by that and they just threw me out and no one really wanted to talk or hang out with me. Another thing you will have to give up will be your family. The reason being is because if you love what you do you will practice every day until you achieve your goal causing you to put aside your family. This was the case for me because after the games I would stay in the gym and try to correct all of the mistakes I did in the games. Another way this applies to me is because in the summer I had to leave my family in Italy and I would have to fly all the way to Philadelphia to practice with the 76er's. My hopes for everyone reading this blog is that you never give up your dreams and you don't listen to all of the negative comments that people give you and you stay headstrong in your dreams. Also that keep on practicing even though it comes with a price you keep on going, and lastly that you would achieve your goal and be the best that you can ever be.
