Rode With The President

I don'i want to rain on any one's parade, but  this is what I expected. I just thought it would take longer than it did. I know he was on a high after greeting President Obama. But  some  of those well wishers should have gave him some good advice. His new found celebrity wouldn't last a year. He didn't last much longer than Dexter Haygood on the X Factor. All you got was a break. You haven't made the big time yet. Keith Norman's gift was beneficial, but only to a serious student. From barely passing to becoming a psychologist is  quite a jump. Even with the help of the president.

He had moved away from his old surroundings into a new home. The place where he once lived has been torn down. Why is he going back to the old neighborhood anyway? He already got out in a sense. He just needs to get busy doing what it takes to stay out of the hood. He can start by getting a job. Instead of trying to make a living as an inspirational speaker. What  exactly have you done other than introduce the president.? That doesn't make a resume by itself. I'm sure there was another student just as deserving if not more. Who just wasn't as camera friendly.  

Why not do an  expose on the little fat ball boy for the Memphis Grizzlies, who made the National Honor Society last year?. He isn't going around giving speeches on how he personally knows  Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay. People don't care how he got the job collecting towels. He isn't a millionaire yet.. He just works around them. This is just the beginning for him. Someday he might end up being a sports attorney or working in the front office. That would be a real rags to riches story. One I would love to hear.

Right after Christopher Dean introduced the president, everyone wanted to interview him.  Kriner Cash took a lot of criticism for taking over one of his moments in the sun. Kriner Cash was looking ahead. He didn't want this to be another episode of "Where Are They Now". Whatever  happened to "hope and change"? Looks like Mr.Cash was right . He had access to Chris"s  files. Christopher doesn't show much reserve. He's giving up already. Where is Joseph Kyle when he needs him?  I bet Chris hasn't seen him lately. I hope  Chris isn't one of  those guys we see on  the corner ten years from now. Talking about he rode in the  car with the president.
