To be completely honest, I ain't really a capable person. I know that much. After my mom abandoned us to go into the nightclub business, I decided to get stronger. I remember that my old man's back was always hunched. It made me sick to my stomach that he spent each day toiling away as a janitor. Being the idiot I am, I decided to give up on studyin' and go into sports.
At first, I liked sports you could play by yourself, like tennis and ping- pong, but I didn't really stick with those. I was good, but I knew I'd never become a top-tier athlete. Then I tried basketball.
I wasn't a team player or nothin', but somehow, I got seriously into playing basketball. And I just kept getting better. I was even recommended to a high school with one of the best basketball teams in the entire country. But I ended up getting in some trouble, and my recommendation got pulled. That was when I really understood the painful truth: I was trash, born from trash.
That was why I chose this school. A dream school that didn't cost any money and could guarantee even my future.
