Drug Free Dreams

Link To Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND1xmGjpuDc

I wanted to play professional league sports. Literally, I was that good to make it, but one decision in high school hindered my future chances. Yeah, when I decided to smoke marijuana with the high school basketball team, I Did Not Know my life was about to be sent to hell and back. Soon, I became a violent man because of the lifestyle drugs gave me. Things got very hectic, and my life seemed helpless. I wanted to get out of the street life, but it was hard trying to become free. When I was getting high one day with some friends, my heart stopped beating for 11 minutes. I then went into a coma and stayed in it for ten days. I suffered an injury to my brain and that caused my left leg to suffer nerve damage. I see so many of our youth leaving earth at a very young age. It is all because of chemical controlled substance, is the reason for youth death and crime. My video is about an athlete who never made it to pro league sports due to drug usage.
