Three Young Men Make A Promise And Fulfill A Dream By Michael Jeffrey Jordan

I'm super proud of him and all his success, like to huge extreme. As I wrote this paper I began to realize, it's not just about winning trophies and medals to Gary, it's something way more. With all his success he could have chose to become big headed and cocky person, but he chose to choose the path of being thankful and blessed beyond all things. His love for the game is an all time high, but yet he still puts family, friends and school first. To me, it's crazy to think one of my role models, Gary Trent Jr. is the same age as me, but as I look at the big picture, he's already more successful than some adults, and he can only get more successful. He says," My favorite song Blessings by Big Sean, and featuring Drake and Kanye is a constant reminder of how blessed I really am." Sure, I want to be like Gary on the court, but most importantly, I want to be like Gary off the court too. The last thing Gary told me during our interview was, " never give up, always grind, but most importantly make sure you shine, and always find

Two of the greatest players to ever step on a basketball court, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. When thinking of greatness in the realm of basketball, these two definitely come to mind. They revolutionized the game and brought a standard to be met- Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. These two players were very similar in many ways.

They both managed to have a killer mentality where winning was the number one priority, and health was just a second thought.

Clinical medicine and science are inherently inseparable entities. Scientific advances and discoveries will perpetually influence any career in the medical profession. This was an idea I learned early on during my undergraduate education. However, my own interest in science spans further than using it as a means to an end. The process of developing theories and conducting experiments enthralls me. I not only strive to apply scientific findings to treat my future patients, but also hope to gain inspiration from my patients to advance scientific knowledge. I believe the ideal way to apply my interests, and to best serve my community, is as a physician-scientist. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would offer me the opportunities

Michael Jordan had actually learned to overcome failure several years before starting his career in the NBA.

Kobe brought out the best in people and he wanted to have a positive effect to the people around him and supported him in his life. His goal was to be one of the greatest, but he also wanted to influence people. One of the motivational things that he said was, " We realize the most important thing in life is how your career moves and touches those around you and how it carries forward to the next generation. You realize that 's what makes true greatness" ("Kobe Bryant Interview"). These are the things that kept him from giving up through the obstacles that

By way of full disclosure, I have known Matthew Parkin from birth and watched him as he grew, from a troublesome child to a full grown man.

A Turkish proverb states, “ No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.” In other words, one mistake doesn’t ruin someone’s life, so don’t be afraid to pick a different path to go down.
