NBA Life at Sloat Blvd. & 19th Avenue

Nine years is more than enough for anybody to feel nauseated at the sight of blue sweatshirts, white polos, and grey corduroys. West Portal Lutheran has provided San Francisco's privileged youth with parochial education for over 60 years. How does a school that started off with 59 students cement themselves as a mainstay of 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard? NBA-like quality-like leaders, that's how. Over the next nine days, my experiences as a young blood will be chronicled by my teachers who constantly reminded of people in the NBA.

As for myself, I'd like to characterize my elementary and middle school life to Chris Anderson's journey through the League. Despite our similarities in great hairstyles, one may not think that we have very much in common. Ridden out of New Orleans because of a positive drug test, Birdman's return to prominence as a member of the Miami Heat is like my experiences with the opposite sex for nine years. Sure, I felt like I was good looking, but I was an awkward pre-adolescent, popping random boners, and had a taste for bad jokes. Let's face it everybody, girls don't like that till you're in your 20's. Now that we've found our niche, we can be free birds.
