We had already paid for the first semester which was a good thing, the house was fully paid for and the bills seem like they were taken care of with the money that I was receiving. I was able to pay off my car and get a car for a few more people like Opal, Rasta, and Ivy. Opal was going into her 2nd year of high school and she was taking business and acting cla.s.ses which I motivated her to focus on the acting since she had a celebrity brother she would be able to easily get the connections to play in movies in the future.
I started training with Shawn even though he was a football player more than a basketball player his training regiments were quite useful for me. I really didn't need any more techniques for basketball but I definitely needed to train my body in order to keep up with my ability after running around in a game nonstop, even though I don't get tired during the game after the game I still do feel the soreness so being physically fit would help ease the soreness that I would be going through.
I found time to hang out with my gang a few times surprisingly they were all quite busy also some were now going into their senior year while some were also getting ready for college, on this special day the church was having a cookout so I invited the whole gang to come with me as we all met at the park. When we arrived we came in and style as everybody watched us pull up in brand new cars and looking like we were ready to ball. Isabella had on the cute sundress and her mother Ivy matched her fly as the guys had their balling fits on.
We saw that some of the guys from church were playing ball so we headed to the court right away after saying hi to the pastors and others. The pastor had received a huge donation this time from me so they were all smiles whenever they saw me. I simply ignored their green eyes and kept it moving. The guys at the court told us to wait for our turn until they saw me. They told me that I'm not allowed on the court, this shocked me as I asked why and they said I'm too good so it would not be a fair match if I was to play.
I shrugged and said "fair enough" and I went to go hang out with Isabella and ivy as I watched the games with them while eating Jollof with Tilapia. My gang had totally crushed the youth of the church as Brione was the MVP of the game. After they finished the game all the men decided to come together for a soccer match so I decided to join in this time for the fun. They were having the grown-ups versus the youth as the ladies were cheering on the side. My gang did not join in as they were tired of the basketball game and went to relax and get some food to eat.
I joined the youth team as we started the game, we didn't have any referee or any timer so we just kept playing until we decided that it was over it was just some good old fun which I appreciated it, I forgot how fun sports could be even though one of the grown-ups had almost injured me I was able to avoid it by using time freeze. I had scored four goals before I came out of the game to go hang out with the gang. We discussed the upcoming season for college basketball as they wanted to find out what my plan was.
I simply told them that I was going in with the mindset of winning it all which they all agreed with me on. I knew I wouldn't be able to come to church for a few months so some of the youth asked for my autograph because they knew who I was and what I did on YouTube and from sports, so after the game, they had all gathered around me to grab my autograph and some were even asking me advice about what sport they should be playing in high school and depending on how their build and height I could be recommended what I thought was right for them.
I could tell if someone was a good fit for a certain sport, for example, one guy was 5'4 and wanted to play basketball I told him that with his build he should be extremely fast he could play basketball but what happens when he has to play defense he won't be able to strip the ball from top players all the time especially if they're not dribbling the ball and in the post that's an automatic dunk for the tall players at the same time I told him that he could do basketball but he would have to work extremely hard in order to perfect either his speed or his shooting or he could take a different route and do soccer, football, or track and field since he had speed as his advantage.
He quickly agreed and told me that he would think about it after that I gave him my autograph and I continued on interacting with the youth as they were the future and even though at that time church didn't have too many programs focused on the youth I wanted to be able to give back especially with the kids that I grew up with and the kids that I knew coming up from my past life. I wanted to make an impact on the community and be used by G.o.d to do good in the world and not just be greedy and spend it all on myself and family.
