1. Kobe Bryant

The youngest player to play in a NBA game at 18 years 2 months and 11 days. He became the youngest all star in the NBA history in 1998; won 3 consecutive NBA Finals (2000, 01, 02) also scored 81 points in a game against Toronto in January 2006, that would put him in 2nd place for most points scored in a game. He also was awarded defensive player of the year for the 9th time. Phil Jackson has left the head coach position open this year and Mike Brown is the one to take that this year. Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant were very close, they had a very good friendship. Kobe Bryant had no comment, no suggestion, and was never given a heads up about the new hire. No one is to sure if this is going to effect Kobe Bryant, we will have to wait until next season to find out the answer to that. It honestly shouldn’t matter to Kobe Bryant about the new coach. He already knew that he was going to have a new coach. Kobe just has to play his game and do what he does best on the court. Bryant is a very good basketball player, I’m sure that the new coach won’t be an issue for Kobe.

Compare and Contrast...

In the movie Monsters Inc. Mr. Roger Ebert said that kids are scared of monsters, but that monsters are scared of kids as well. In my opinion i think that's is not true, monsters are bigger and stronger than kids. Their is no reason why a monster should be scared of a kid.  Mr. Ebert is right, the only thing that we didnt know about monsters scaring kids is that they save their scream. Its called Monstropolis, the only reason monsters jump out of closets and scare kids is to collect their screams, which are to Monstropolis as power plants as to the rest of us.

My Dream School..

If I could pick any College to attend after graduating from high school I would go to USC.  The University of Southern California has been my dream school since I was a little kid. I want to go to USC not only to get my Teacher’s Credential, but to also play football as a Trojan.  I would pick USC over any other school because that is truly my dream school and where I want to end up.  I believe that USC could help me get to where I want to be in life and I know I would have a great time there. 

In 5 Years...

Do you know where you’ll be 5 years from now? My first year I plan on graduating from Costa Mesa High School with a 4.0 GPA; I’ll be playing football, basketball, and baseball as a Mustang. I’ll have a Part-Time job at Pizza Hut so I’ll be able to pay for college. I’ll be working at the OC Fair over the summer, so I’ll get enough money to get myself a car.

My second year ill be attending IVC working on getting my teacher’s credential. I’ll also be working on getting a degree in Sports Training and maybe for an accountant. I like working with numbers, but I also like to work with kids and play sports. I want to play football and basketball while attending college. I’ll be looking for my own place and saving some money to move out and get my own apartment. . Since this is my first year out of High School, I’m going to get out of California and explore. I want to go to Amsterdam with a few of my friends for a little vacation.

Going into my third year, I’ll be working on getting an apartment. Most likely I’ll have a friend as a roommate so I could save some money for school. I’m going to have a new job by now. I’ll be working at Sprouts for my brother, this new job will help me get the bills paid and put money away for school as well. After being out of High School for 2 years now, I want to go on another vacation, at least one every year. I’ll probably go to Virginia to go visit some of my family that I haven’t seen since I was little.

After being in College for 2 years, I’m going to need a break. I’ll be 21 and I should have my own apartment, car, and girlfriend. Since I just turned 21, most likely ill be taking a trip out to Las Vegas. I want to have a kid before I turn 22 so I’ll be working on that as well as working on getting a house for my family.

I plan on being done with college in 4 years and getting a job as a teacher at Costa Mesa High School. I know what I have to do to get to where I want to be; I just have to try to get there. If the teacher job doesn’t come through, I’ll try to be a Sports Trainer. My goal is to become a Sports Trainer for the Los Angeles Lakers.
