They're alot of reel good players in the NBA. Most of them have their own styles that they play, like Lebron who can take it to the hole at will and score. The you have Garnett who can take to the post, or shoot the mid range jumper well, But I can give you five reasons why Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league.
1. One reason why is because he's a scoring machine, if he really wants to score he could.
2. The second reason why is because he's one of the best on ball defenders in the league. He's
been on the all NBA defensive team more than five times.
3. The third reason why is because he's the most competative player in the NBA. If he have a
bad game, or argue with another player. He can come out and drop 50 points the next game
or the next time he plays that person again.
4. The fourth reason why is because he's very clutch. When the game is on the the line h's the
best player with the ball in his hands.
5. The fifth and final reason why Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league is because he's a
champion. He;s been to the top, and knows how to get the job done.

Yesterday was the best date in my eight month relationship. He had thrown a party for his father at Pearl's Place. We had the most fun together. I felt as if I was first lady to the dream husband. He was the gentleman I always knew he could be. After that last night I know I can stay with that young man. Yea, he has flaws. Things that I cant stand about him, but he cares and that's something he doesn't show to people often. Then we had our first slow dance with his parents. We took pictures and lit trick candles together. Everything wasn't perfect, but with his flaws and all he is the ideal boyfriend and that was my ideal date.
It was nothing but crisp hundred dollar bills,at first i wondered what could I spend it on
then before I knew it i had a bran dnew car ,golgd chains, earings,watches,and owned a block full of buisnesses.Not to mention my 30 million dollar crib.

What is it like growing up as a teen in Chicago?
I believe growing up as a teen in Chicago is pretty interesting and exciting at the same time. I enjoy it here. It's a nice city full of stores, parks, museums, and famous main attractions. The majority of my family lives here so I feel I'm at home. It's a place where teens could have more opportunities and dreams. It's challenging at times as well. It has had a huge impact on my life. I came from a small town in Arkansas to one of the biggest cities in the U.S. It was an interesting new experience for me prior to a lot of differences. I found myself having to adapt to a new and bigger environment which is good. I feel that I've gotten the best of both worlds. So now I feel inspired to grow up in the beautiful city of Chicago.

Long living
In rough time
Fake thugs doing crime
Every day doing drive-bys
Innocent kids losing their lives
Never stopping for whats their's
Teenage kids killing without care
Hate for others to survive
Every day hurting mothers
Hateful crimes toward others
Old men all doped up
Other kids getting choked up
Dead before they're eighteen all because of a drug scheme.
Life In The Hood
My Dear,
I have a confession,
since the moment i met you,
you've been a sought-after possession.
All this time i've been competing,
with everyone,
i've even stoped to cheat.
for a brief moment with you.
I've been waiting for you to return,
waiting for the moment,
when i felt i've earned
the right to have you here,
the right to have you near.
Lately i've been feeling some depression,
i'm sure that's been my impression.
That's all you've been able to see.
But I know that this regression,
it can turn around, with you
into progression.
We can be what we were,
and more i promise,
into a blur,
we can only go up
and we can drink together,
from the sweet cup
of life.

Violets are Blue
I love my parents
And so should you
They love me dearly and
Care for me whole heartily
Their always there
When my body need repair
Even when I just need a friend
I can always call my parents to give
Me a hand
They’re like no other
No one can be the same
That’s why it’s an honor to wear their last name
It help relieves the pain
I love my parents so much
It helps more to know I have their trust
Their love I will never lust

If I was stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean for ten years their are a couple of things that I would bring. One of the things is a bible, I fill that in ten years I could read the whole bible a couple of times. I would bring a HD TV, a dvd, and a movie. The movie that I would bring is Friday, because I could watch that movie everyday. The cd that I would bring is Get Rich Or Die Trying, because it's my favorite cd and I could play it though and listen to every track. The ffood that I would bring is pizza, because it's my favorite food. The drink that I would bring is some flavor water, because you need water to survive, and because it taste good. The piece of clothing that I would wear is some short and a tank top. And another Item that I would bring is a computer. Because it will also keep me occupied, and I could talk to my family through email.

Yesterday I went home my mom was arguing to someone on the phone, it was my first day that week that I’ve been home. I asked my mom who it was; she said it was someone making threats towards me. She didn’t know what to do. I was scarred because I got my family worried; I guess I’m going to have to move till it’s over. My family is important to me but right now I’m just thinking of my family’s security instead of mine. I just hope this ends.

What life is like growing up as a teen in Chicago? You have to watch every move you make and do not take life for granted because you do not know it might be your last day on earth. Chicago is a very ruff place to be growing up in. You have kids getting killed almost each and everyday and not only those grown people too. A lot of people have been getting raped. Therefore, its important not to walk the streets along, its better if you walk with someone at all times. Everyday when watching the news a lot of new and bad things happen everyday. You never hear anything good on the news. This is how life is growing up as a teen in Chicago.
