I need to write an essay about how kids grow up in poor inner city areas with the dream of playing basketball every single day in hopes of maybe, just maybe getting a college scholarship.
I have some really good ideas for this paper but does anybody have a good opening sentence or paragraph so help me get started?
Anything would be great. Thanks!|||How about this:
Basketball, saviour or deceiver?
Basketball is a way out of the ghetto, that is for the very few exceptional players.
But common knowledge and numbers show it is more of a deceiver than a saviour. The vast majority of youngsters that pin their hopes on basketball as a way to college and beyond leave their smashed dreams on the hardwood of a high school arena.
We need to emphasis that not every one from the ghetto is not skilled enough with a basketball to play their way into the future, but all of those inner city kids have what it takes to study their way to their dreams..................|||well i think that u could use t mag as a example of that because he grew up on a very dangerous street look it up and you could start it by saying " a man with ambitions , a kid with dreams t mag|||Actually a better example would be Sebastian Telfair, who grew up in Coney Island with dreams of being a professional who bypassed college and made it into the NBA.|||u should be like... u know whats sad? all the nigs on the street getting high and drunk when they could be having just as much fun playing a harmless game.. obviously not in those words but i think u get the idea
