Living History Week 2

Magic Johnson
Living History

I haven't found a book yet since i changed from Micheal Jordan to Magic Johnson and plan on getting the book My life. It is a biography on Magic Johnson.

Questions:
1.The great human path is when a person goes on a journey to become a great human being. The path that they take takes a very long and sometimes painful time. There journey is encouraged but on the way they have a lot of obstacals that might look like they are impassable but if they put there mind to it they can accomplish anything. For everyone it is a different journey since for no one it can be the same, everybody is different and wants to do different things. A person who want to become a basketball player might have a different journey then a person who is working to get world peace. The journey starts when you are young and last your whole life it can never just stop.

2. Magic Johnson born as Earvin Johnson Jr. was born on the 14th of August 1959 in Lansing Michigan. He was born in a family of 9 with his brothers and sisters, while his parents had to work to support the family. He also had a part time job to help out his father. He realized his love of basketball early and got up at 7:30 each day to practice. He lead his team to a few championships and got his nickname magic when a reporter saw him score 36 points along with 18 rebound and 16 assists.

3. These little things in his life, or big things shaped him the way he is. When people are born in poor families then they have to work really hard to sustain their family and some just give up and go twords crime but if they work hard they get character and attitude twords some things. Magic had to work to help his family but that made him be no stranger to hard work so he could wake up at 7:30 and practice because of his love of basketball.
