The Person that I admire

Posted by: aaliyah2012 | May 22, 2008 | 1 Comment |



The person I admire is Haywood Burton because he’s a great guy and most of all a great basketball coach. He’s someone I look up to and he is also my role model. I love this man to death, I love that he is in my life.

There are a lot of pros and cons that I can say about him, but mainly pros! Haywood is a person that I can go to for advice. One day he asked me to write down all my goals that I want to do in life, so I did and he said first thing you have do is graduate from collage and high school. The proudest moment I had that he did was when he wrote me a note and slipped it under my pillow saying how he was proud to be my god father, right then and there I knew I know I could set any goal and be proud after I accomplish it. He tells me EVERYDAY that I have the potential to do anything, that’s if I set my mind to do it. He is also my basketball coach.

Haywood shows how much he love and care for me. I mean I can talk to him about anything if I wanted to because I know he would listen. The only thing I hate is he to hard on me because he knows I can be the best. Also I hate some of the stuff he do like smoke, I just get mad but I don’t show it. I also, hate it when he yell at me because I know he telling the truth but when he yells it make me feel like he’s downing’ me and doesn’t care anymore but I try to keep it positive because I know he do.

Haywood Floyd Burton has been the inspirational person to me. I can look at him like a role model and a father figure. I don’t know what I would do if he wasn’t in life. I probably would’ve gave up on all my dreams and goals I had planned for my future. So the person I admire is Haywood Floyd Burton.
