Giving Thanks

For Thanksgiving, I think I would like to thank a group of people other than just one individual.  I’m really thankful to be a part of such a unique brotherhood such as the Whitney Young basketball program.  During the school year, you see these select few of people more than you see your immediate family so these young men become family to you.  I’ve acquired the majority of my closest friend through basketball in some kind of way and I am really thankful for that.  From me being a part of a community such as this, you learn to gain trust for other and learn how to work with people through adversity and these are essential tools you need in order to succeed in life.  It’s kind of funny because it seems like when someone from the outside is messing with one teammate, you’re messing with the whole team so everybody feels affected.  So besides of having one problem you have 15.  It’s kind of nice to know that a group of people have you back like that.  I’m thankful for this group of people for giving me the competitive drive to do better in life and strive for greatness in whatever I do either its on or off the court.  I felt the need to address such thanks for this group of people because sometimes this brotherhood is overlooked so I wanted to pay homage to my brothers.  Thank You.
