College Athletes-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Waking up with a headache from hell, I collect my composure and grab my belongings in a hurry. I have a flight to catch and I can’t be late to the airport. Another all-star weekend in the books. This year? A low level professional basketball ball player. I know, not that impressive. My plan was to meet a superstar, but somehow ended up in this bed. He is still sleeping like a baby. Some women in my shoes would go through his belongings and look for their own payout but that’s not me. I do give him a nudge so we can say our goodbyes, letting him know I had fun and giving him my number. I’m really disappointed I didn’t get to talk to a superstar.

That was until the day we got into a fight and I ended up with a bruised eye. He told me to stay in the house for two weeks so no one could see what happened. I listened to him that was until he left more marks on my neck, then my cheek. You get the picture. Lewis had real anger problems and I was just there to be his trophy and eye candy. I didn’t mind the life of being by a man’s side, but the abuse I couldn’t deal with, and after all the shit I went through with him, he was the one that broke it off with me. Go figure. Eventually I had to pick up the pieces of my life and start over. Overnight it seems I went from riches to rags all over again. Looking for my next baller

    I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong. I wasn't terrible, I could hit a 90 mile per hour fastball and I could, for the most part, field a ground ball. However, I was definitely not about to be scouted by the college scouts.…
