Key To Success

The key to success is give it your best
Put the work in, Unlike the rest
Be the best, You can be. So why are you listening to me?
You should be working hard, Going non-stop.
So lets go, Walk to the door and put the key in the lock.
If you choose to turn it, Your jaw might drop.
You’ll be standing there, On top.
You may be on top of the world before you know it,
Don’t look to far, Or you’ll blow it.
One man gave you everything you got...
Or are you just gonna all let it drop.
You know I really don’t get it, Some people are really gifted.
But they do dumb things, Like shop lifting
Get caught, Your going to jail.
Then jail brings you down, Now your talents are on “FAIL”.
Or you could choose the smart path and use them and be as good as you can be.
Smart huh, Follow it, And you’ll see.
So just listen to me, I’m not that dumb.
Trust me, Ive been on  fail, And your body just goes numb.
It’s no fun, Honestly it sucks
I just laid there not wanting to get up. Stuck, Trapped in despair.
Just wanting to pull out my hair.
But I fought through it, I Got up.
I wanted to use it, The talents god has given me.
If I have to ill start from day three
I’m putting the key in the lock
So then, I can be on top.

My Dad

My Dad

By Weston Edwards

 
 I want to be just like my dad! He went to college to play basketball and football. I want to go play basketball, just like he did. My dad has been an amazing dad, though. Especially when I was younger. When I wanted him to play with me, he would, even if he was sick. He also had a bad shoulder from football, so it would hurt him when we threw the football. I always loved his saying when I fell and got “hurt:” “Come on Weston, Get up. You aren’t hurt”. He would tell me that because he loved me.

 My dad has gone along way in life. He went to Lee to play Basketball, then he was transferred to ECU to play football and basketball. I hope I get that opportunity to go play sports at a big school. I hope I can get a scholarship, and get my collage payed for just like him. He always strives to make me do my best that I can.

 My dad and I have so many memories we could look back on, we always laugh together when we are hanging out. He takes me to go see N.C. State play football and basketball. That’s where I want to go to collage.

My dad is my best friend, I can tell my dad anything and talk to him about everything. When I grow up and have kids, I want to be just like him and be a great father. That’s why I love my dad :)

   This blog will be a showcase blog. Full of all my best writing's and things like that.

  I would have to say. . .By far "The Funeral" was the Best Example Of Creativity. It was so hard, Because It was my first rap I've ever done. So I had to get over the recording fright, I had to fit my part into the beat, And I had to make the lyrics come together. I see now, That it's very, very tough.

  My next one will be, Evidence of my growth as a writer. The before story will be "My Perfect World", And the after story will be "Ballin'". I picked these because it shows how much my brain has expanded in my wiritings. At the beginning of the year, My writing's were short and not very good. But now they are very long, And detailed. I have noticed myself growing as a writer.

  This one will show, Proof that I am a thinker or Learner. The story I chose was "Memories". I selected this one because I had to think very, very hard to remember things from a long time ago, But I think I did a great job with it. When I was thinking I had to lay my head down and get real quiet, Then I was there and everything came to me. That's how I know I am a learner.

  The last one will be, My Top Three Post's. My top three that I chose were The Funeral, Ballin', And Memories. These three were chosen because, I really put a lot of hard work and effort in to these. With the link's, You can find those up top. But it took over time, I really had to put a lot of thoughts into them, I really do think I did a good job with all of these.

Ballin'

Ballin’

By: Weston Edwards

  This is the story of four friends. Their names are Me. . Edwards, Neal,   Johnson (But we call him John), And Reid. We all lived in a small town in North Carolina. The town was small but our imagination wasn’t. So I’m here to tell you a story that happened Five years ago.

                        Five Years Earlier

  We were all Thirteen, Teenagers, On top of the world. When one day we were walking to CVS near my house and saw four kids our age we always play in basketball every year. They had Jordan’s on, Ripped shirts, And adidas shorts. That matched the way we were all dressed that day. So Neal. . Being the kid he was , Walked up and Asked the four kids if they wanna play basketball. They swore up and down they’ve gotten better, But they said yeah, Lets go. . .

   So we all walked to the old goal we play on and check the ball up. Keep in mind we played this team every year, at the same goal. We got ball. I mean come on, Home court advantage. So I run Point Guard,Johnson runs Shooting Guard, Neal runs Power Forward and Reid runs Center. Reid made a hard V cut to the left then cut back in. Passed the ball and hit the lay up. We knew they didn’t want it. So, We checked it again. Passed it to Johnson he made a pass to Neal, And he took it in . . . Layup. Four to Zero.

  5 Minutes Later

   Games almost over, Game to 21. Its 19 to 18, We are up. I passed in the ball to Johnson to my left, He passed it back and we were ready.Johnson made a hard V-Cut in and back out. Reid was posting his man up, And Neal was wide open. I drove hard to the whole, Got all of the defenders on me and kicked it back out to Neal. He shot it, Then missed and the rebound went to Johnson. (Now Johnson is the last person you want to have the ball at the end of the game when we have to score. He is the shortest person, Everyone else on the other team was way taller than him.) So he head faked and drove. But right before he was at the basket he did a no look pass to Reid, He went up over two players and hit the lay up. That was game, We had won. Two years in a row. They had thought they would have beat us. We told them good game, And we’ll see them next time. I heard one of them saying, “Man, We’ll get them next year”.

   So for the rest of the day, We just hung out and relaxed.  Until Night time, Then we hit the movies with our girls. Yuup, That’s how we roll. :)
