Raisin in the Sun
My dreams are to be the next WMBA player for the team, the Shocks. The reason I want to play for Shocks because my favorite basketball player plays for them. I want to be just like her when I get older and play in collage
Tennessee. I think I will go school to be a pediatrician to work with little kids and babies. Dreams are something to you to think of before you do it like something you want to do in life.
Family is a group of loving people. I love my family very much. I respect them. I also respect my close friends. They like sisters to me I love them to. I and my friends don’t fight but we just argue sometimes. Me and my family we have fights sometimes over money, relationship just over stupid stuff. But I love them to death.
We have a lot of frustration in my family. For example I hate when my parents be arguing about their relationship out and open or in the house. I get frustrated because I and my friends are arguing over nothing. Also, school is a lot of work that I have to do and basketball is on my mind when I am at school. We are having homework for basketball. We have to study to learn plays it is too much. Frustration is something that makes you want to give up it feels like anger. For example I give up on my test sometimes because it’s too hard. I think the color of frustration is red because it anger and pain.
