As far as Justin knew, there was only one way out of his neighborhood:

basketball. So he ran with the ball like the hounds were chasing him. He could

drop any of the older guys at the court in a blaze of crossovers, fade aways, and

finger rolls, and the younger guys didn’t stand a chance. Justin saw his way out

and he ran for it. But the world has a funny way of changing right when you

think you’ve got things figured out, and that’s just what happened to Justin.

One day when Justin was shooting around at the local court, some guys from

another block ran up and asked to play. The big one in the middle said that he

had heard that Justin was the best and he wanted to see if it was true. Justin

said, “Nah, Man, I’m just shooting around with my cousin, I ain’t trying to get

all sweaty right now.” But the big guy was insistent, and Justin’s cousin was

bugging, “C’mon, Justin, drop this guy.” So Justin figured that he’d just do

what everyone wanted and play.

Justin was running all over the big guy and making his shots while he did it.

But just as the outcome of the game seemed certain, the big guy shoved Justin

as he went for a lay up. Justin went flying in just such a way that he managed to

tear up his right knee. The doctor said Justin might never play again, and if he

did play, he wouldn’t play the same. Justin was devastated.

The first six weeks, Justin just laid in bed with his leg in a long cast feeling like

a broomstick. He watched three reruns of The Simpsons every day and ate

potato chips until the bag was empty, and then he’d dig the salt and grease out

of the corner with his index finger.Justin blew up like a balloon as watched his

once bright future fadeway. Right when he reached the bottom of the pit of

despair, Justin’s sister, Kiki came home from the university.

She came in the house like a whirl of sunshine, bringing exciting tales of a far

away land called college. Justin was amazed and intrigued by the dorm room

dramas and campus craziness that Kiki told, but he could hardly believe any of

it. It was as if she were telling him about some fantasy land high above the

clouds. Justin gazed off dreamily as she spoke.

“Justin!” She interrupted his day dream. “Let me see your progress report.”

Justin was ashamed. His grades had really slumped since his injury. “Othis won’t do, J,” she said. “We’re going to have to get these up.” Well, Justin

was a pretty stubborn guy, but his older sister had a way of getting him to do

things that nobody else could. So, while she was home on break, they studied

together, and they talked, and they worked, and Justin felt better than he ever

had before.

After spending those weeks with his sister, Justin realized that he didn’t want to

feel bad for himself any more, and he didn’t want to quit. Basketball used to be

his thing, and he was good at it, but now there was only school, so he had to get

good at that. Justin passed through all his classes like a half-court trap. By the

time he got to senior year in high school, his GPA was hovering in the slam-

dunk position. The last thing that Justin had to do to get into the college of his

choice was score well on the ACT. Well wouldn’t you know it? Using the study

skills Justin had acquired from his sister, Justin scored a 24 on the ACT. That’s

not the highest score a person can get, but it was high enough for Justin. Now

he had his academic game together.

Though the recruiters never came to Justin’s door, every university that he

applied to accepted him; and when the fall came, Justin had his choice in

colleges. Though he’d miss his family, Justin decided to enroll in the sunniest

university in Hawaii, and nobody could say that Justin made a bad choice.
