My game of life William Ramone Clay

My Game of Life
Life to me is like various sports rolled into one. It is referred to as the game of life. Regardless of what sport or team, penalty's or rules add to the factor which decide the final play, all the way to the tenth of a second remaining .
This determines whether we triumphs or failed and how great our victory or demise was.
My name is William Clay. but friends call me Wise. This is an attribute which another chose for me. He said I showed wisdom beyond my years. Unlike many other nick names i had chose for myself, that I thought fitted me. This was given. It took me a while to actually comprehend and see it myself. Wisdom is the wise words, ways and actions of one who has gained knowledge of self. Not only must I gain knowledge, but I must show and prove it with my actions. I must lead by example. Anyone can talk and sound knowledgeable, but they must use it to benefit their life and those who they come in constant contact with.
In my travels of life I have witnessed alot of things that need to be addressed, in helping the youth. It can be done on a small level but eventually everyone must be involved. From my eyes, community must begin saving the youth with all types of programs. These programs must value the youth teaching and giving incentives or the youth will reject it. From my experience when I was coming up, the hood really had no activities that interested me and my team. So we looked to the hood and made our own activities, most were negative. The neighborhoods must have positive male and female role models. The people I thought was cool was all in the game. I was eager to leave the bench. By age eleven I was stealing cars. I would steal radios and rims to get money mostly to joy ride. By the fifth grade the entire dynamics of school had changed. I bought my first gun by the sixth grade. It was about girls and clothes, so to get new jordans and timbs and whatever clothes was popping around this time I made hustling a full-time job.This would take me in and out various juvenile detention centers. I guess that was equivalent to playing sports on a high school level. As I got older, and better at many different hustles, car theft, robberys and burglarys. Selling various drugs and all around thugging. I was granted a scholarship in street lifes collegiate level. From there I went to jail in the state, 5 years. I received as associate degree in culinary arts. Kind of ironic cause I like to cook and mix various drugs. Drugs was my new hustle. When I would leave the state of hard knocks my major was the streets. With this time I thought I prepared myself with what I needed to survive. With no real plan, I attempted to get money as fast as possible. I lasted 14 months, long enough to have two seeds, loosing focus of what little plan i had only left me to be drafted to the feds. I guess i went pro...
Back to square one. The money I did make was only enough to support my kids and my jail bid only for so long. As I await release I'm struggling with higher and lower self. Who knows what my future holds? I will charge into this game behind by whatever margin 3 runs, 10 points, 2 touchdowns... My bases are loaded, its 4th and inches. I have 5 innings and just reached a two minute warning before the first half heads to halftime. I must score on my next play to either tie the game or give me a chance to win. These plays are crucial to success. I still have plenty of time but I must be patient and manifest my knowledge which is wisdom to execute all plays precise. There is very little room for error. We can't give perfection but we can be happy in the pursuit of it. Peace
