The Basketball Life

by Gerami Felix
(Lafayette,LA USA)

Hi my name is Gerami Felix an i just want to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born on October 3rd 1987 in Lafayette, LA, I was raised by my mother Dina Sias who is a single mother who worked the best available job to support 6 kids (3 boys, 3 girls). Our fathers really never came around much or did much for us an we struggled a bit but my mother always gave it her all. I've been playing all my life my favorite player is Chris Paul. While growing up in Lafayette the best thing to do to have fun is play sports in the local parks or outside the house in the neighborhood. It all started in elementary playing for recess then playing for the boys&girls club. From their i worked on my game an played high school ball for three years. To make my long story short i got my GED in 2008 from North Texas job Corp I don't attend any college right now. My dream career is playing basketball while helping my mother an having fun while doing it.
