Assignment #2: What do you Love???

Interview with Allene Presley, my beloved mother

1) What was I like in the first 5 years of my life?

You always had a stomach problem, every since you were young. The doctor did not want to give you any x-rays, so she could protect your jewels. You were Student of the Month in Kindergarten! You had many friends. Ohh, and you cried a lot but, you were very attentive.

2) What things did I love, what games did I like to play, what did you think was unique about me?

I thought you were very smart and we anticipated that you would go on to a gifted school. But, you didn't pass the vision test. You liked to play basketball.

3) What did you think I would become when I grew up?

I always thought you would devote yourself to God. But, that didn't happen. I knew you always had potential to become anything you wanted to become.

One Thing I Love Activity


Since my 23rd birthday is around the corner, I felt it was the perfect time to do what I have always loved to do since high school-put on a fresh pair of Air Jordan sneakers, specifically retros. This past Friday, I was invited to a Bulls game so I decided that it would definitely be appropriate if I stepped foot into the United Center with Michael Jordan shoes on my feet. So, before heading out to watch the Bulls lose to the Toronto Raptors, I took my Air Jordan 11's out of the box and placed them on my feet. I can not describe the feeling of fresh Air Jordan's caressing the soles of my feet. It's an experience that one has to witness on its own. Since I was not able to sport my fresh Jordan's up and down my high school hallway like I did back in 2000-2004, the United Center was and is the next best location. At the conclusion of the game, it did not matter that the Bulls lost. What was important was leaving the building without anyone stepping on my crispy sneakers. I can honestly say that I made it out fine. #23 salute to all my authentic Air Jordan wearers! Keep hope alive!!
