I remember growing up in small low-class apartment in the city of Toronto. I was born the youngest. I had one brother and one sister there were twins and two years older than me. My parents were either working or cooking us food. My sibling and I used to sit on the sofa watching cartoons while my parents were cooking for us. When the food was ready, we had to go eat on the dining table with everyone. I was fortunate to have parents that could cook delicious food but even more a dad that could cook better than my mom.

I told my parents that I was out of shape because of all the fast food I was eating. My parents did not find anything wrong with being a little overweight, but for me it meant being slower. Since my parents worked so much, they did not have known how they were going cook and work. I went to school and asked my coach what kind of food I should eat and how much. He gave a food pyramid and showed me how to read it. When I went home that day, I told my parents that they would not have to cook for me every day but they can help me meal prep. My parents cooked grilled chicken, vegetables and brown rice and put it into 5 containers. I started eating clean for 2 months but the weight only went down by five pounds but I still could not fit into my Kobe jersey. I went to my coach again and this time I told him I was following the diet but still not in shape. He asked me what do I drink and I told him my parents buy a lot of pop because my siblings loved it. My coach started laughing because I went on a diet, and I was still drinking pop. He told me that I should drink a lot of water each day, and not pop.

I was lucky to have a coach that wanted to see me do better but even more parents that wanted to help. My parents worked long hours just to buy me and my sibling whatever we wanted. They helped me meal prep every week after they came back from work even though they were tired. My parents saw how much of a different my diet was making so they started eating the same food as me. They saw a change in their weight too. Now looking back I see how much my parents cared about us and how they would do anything to make us happy. They spoiled us bought us everything we ever wanted. One day I hope I can be just as amazing as

It is home to the third largest public transportation system in North America, enabling residents to go without a car if they so choose.

Even though I ate a lot of junk, I was very active. I played almost every team sport, and loved it.…
