Spring Break

Spring break is a relief, a time to go HOME and spend with family and friends. Well, my spring break was something like this... more or less. I went home to Lexington for two days, then realized nothing has changed, same people doing the same things. People are either playing ball or getting in trouble, and now-a-days it's more of the latter. Out of all of my friends that I consider family, only a few of us have made it out of our hometown. The rest... well, they aren't doing to hot. 1 is in jail, 1on probation, 4 with kids, and too many still hustling. This is why I can't stay home, and this is why I go to Indianapolis, Indiana to visit one of my brothers Shelvin Mack.
I went up to watch Shelvin and his Butler Bulldogs play Cleveland State University in the Horizon league championship game. Shelvin came out and balled!!! However, his team lost in it's third meeting with the visiting Cleveland State team. After the game ended, I hung with Shelvin and talked about what we would be doing with the week, and the summer. That week we watched the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis and just hung like always.
I love my brothers, but some of them aren't making the right moves with their lives and this is why I want to make my name and pave the way so that others in the future do not follow the negative footprints left by individuals who chose to fail.
