schooled

This boy named Lionel wants to be a pro basketball player but his dad thinks it's a waste of time. Also he has horrible grades because he can't read. He played one of the varsity players named Steve and he crossed him over. Steve got jealous and elbowed him in the lip. Lionel's mom is over seas and is now living with dad, aunt, aunt's baby, and his sister Kendra. He tries out for basketball and makes the team and Steve is even more jelous and beats him up real bad. Lionel is trying to drop out of school and wants to join the nba but his dad said to get good grades or won't make it to the nba. We give this a five out of five because it tells a good lesson for education and future dreams. Quocus and Abdirahmin
