What can I Say, after lots of thinking, re-thinking and lying to myself, I Finally told myself the truth, and I Told my parents the truth also.
School is not for me, or at least, BEING at school makes me sick, so I am entering the big-little World of Homeschooling, so that I can be more free and have REAL time to pursue my hoop dreams.
And what about hoops, here are the pros and cons of my Journey ‘till now.
PROS
- Got 2 Inches taller.
- Best shooter in my team.
- Found out that I can REALLY become a good basketball player.
- Understanding the game for real.
- Think about a try-out with EA7 Milan’s U17 Team.
- One of the most good looking guys in my team.
- I love to come off screens.
CONS
- Sometimes I choke.
- I am NOT GOOD AT ALL playing 1 on 1
- There are 2 Guys on my team that are supposed to be PGs, but all they do is rush through the court and take their shot, so selfish.
- COACH DOESN’T MAKE ME PLAY!!
Most important thing of ‘em all, man, this makes me so mad. But I SWEAR that one day these guys will see me kissing a girl (DR) while holding a trophy in my hands. I SWEAR.
But now I’m back on track, and these people will matter little to me now.
Come on up for THE RISING.
Music to me it’s inspiration, and inspiration means dreaming, dreaming means believing, believing means becoming.

Wow. Just wow. I Just now found out what happened in 8 months of my life.
Let’s go step by step.
November 2010: My Birthday. Not a great one, not the best. Lets just say that this was the month that changed my life.
The day after my Birthday. I Just look myself in the mirror. I’m unconfortable, unsure, full of fears. No friends at all. No social life, bullied at school, I Broke my ankle on my FIRST BASKETBALL GAME. I Just said STOP. Think at what happened In Your life.
A 15 Year Old boy, weighting 176 Pounds, 5’6” Tall with LOADS of problems in school, social life, sports, with no hopes in life whatsoever.
Any other normal teenager of my age would have just cried and go in depression. But I’m not a normal teenager.
End Of July 2011: A 15 Year Old guy, 5’10” Tall, 158 Pounds, Homeschooled and set to go to a private school, I Know 4 Languages and I Speak them fluently. Italian, English, Spanish and French. I’m set to be one of the best basketball players in the region, and Last but not least, I Have a goal. That goal is called PRO.
How did You do It? Three words: Will, Faith, Inspiration.

Well, my life has always been a rollercoaster, even If I’m just 15, I’ve seen it all.
Let’s talk about my basketball situation now.
I Began watching Basketball at 13, late huh? Well, I just fell in love with the game, so I Kept train harder and harder all by myself, hoping to find a team who could take me. Well, nobody wanted me, because I was too “old”..Wow. But I Kept training on and on, then I found a little team in the province on Milan, Gessate, they accepted me, at 14 Years old.
Now, I cannot tell You that I’m the best on the team, but I’m surely the guy who works harder then everybody. And sometimes it pays off, sometimes not, but I Keep working.
Well, I Created this blog just to write my Ideas, my songs, my life.
I’d just write one thing today, but it’s something that means a lot to me.
These are the words of a man called Paulo Coelho.
