The pursuit of his dream

‘He shoots, he scores and the Detroit Pistons win the finals’. That is what the young motivated basketball player named Michael Jordan always dreamed of. He was 15 years old and living on the streets of Detroit. He was about ten feet tall and had black skin with black hair. Everyday he would train day and night in a court at night practicing, hoping that one day he will be chosen for the Detroit Pistons basketball team. He was the best of the best but was not yet seen by other people.

At the age of 18, Michael Jordan took a job at a panel and paint shop, however he still had the fire in him and motivation for basketball. He took this job to save up for a expensive but exotic pair of Shaquille O’neal snickers. While he was practising on the court next to his workshop, a group of men came to the front of his workshop and stood there. After a while Michael Jordan noticed them and walked over to them and they started throwing fireworks and rocks at his shop and then they ran away. When he saw this he tried to catch them, but they jumped in a car that was waiting for them, and they drove away and left Michael’s workshop sizzling in flames.

The next day Michael arrived at his workshop with the feeling that all was lost. With all hopes lost Michael Jordan sadly sits down in front of the ashes of his workshop and sobbed in sorrow thinking about what he is going to be in the future. Suddenly a mini truck drives past and throws two sacks of money at him beeping the horn down the road. In fury Michael Jordan opened one of the sacks, and sees the money he quickly opens the second and also the same. With the happiest thoughts going around in his head, he thinks about the Shaquille O’neal snickers that he wanted and goes home in delight.

The next day he heads to the shop with his most wanted exotic Shaquille O’neal snickers, and enters the shop called ‘Foot locker’ and sees the pair of Shaquille O’neal snickers locked in the three centimetre glass box. He walks up to the counter and asked the shopkeeper for the Shaquille O’neal snickers. When Michael Jordan received the shiny pair of Shaquille O’neal snickers he started to practise again hoping to finally make it in now that he has the Shaquille O’neal snickers. With the money left over he used it to build another workshop and purchased tools for the workshop. Within a week his workshop was rebuilt and paid for a court for him to practise in. After cleaning up his new workshop he decided to practice before he packs up and leaves. When he was practising the former coach of the Detroit Pistons was passed by, when he saw Michael Jordan do a 360 windmill and stops and calls Michael Jordan to come, and talks to him and then the coach said that he wanted Michael Jordan to enter his team as the center , then before the coach leaves,  Michael Jordan hugs him and shakes his hand and says ‘I will not let you down. 15 years passed Michael Jordan is named in the world of basketball ' The great one '.
