Greg closed his eyes, took a deep breathe, and jumped. Two minutes earlier.
“Ever since I was little, my life’s been nothing but hell. My mother molested me, I moved from foster home to foster. In school everybody teased me, called me names like. gay boy faggot or little pussy.kids always beat me up all because I was gay. I dropped out of college because I didn’t have enough money to finish college. I don’t have any friends, and the only family I ever had was my last foster mother Betty and now she’s gone. There is no point of living anymore. I can’t take this shit any more, im fed up, I tired and, I want to be happy!

Damonica Terrell interview
What’s you’re favorite quote?
Well I have my own “They say practice makes you perfect but then they say nobody is perfect”
When did you fall in love with basketball?
I love basketball. I knew I loved basketball when I was seven, because I had a thing for Sheryl swoops. She splayed for the comets. My dad bought me her jersey, but it had her name on the back.
Why do you love basketball?
I love basketball because it teaches life lessons and it makes you stronger, not just on the court and in life lesson. It also teaches you how to make smart decisions because when you’re on the court you need to weather you’re going all the to the basket or if you’re going to pass the ball.
What was you’re best game this year?
My best game this year was when I had 21 points and six assist while playing against Senn and I was in the news paper.
What’s the best advice you would give any young girl basketball player?
The advice I would give to any younger girl basketball player would be kind of hard for me because I not really to the point I need to be but I would say to have a lot of confidence and even if you cant do something just keep telling you’re self that you can.
