My Brother
|
My brother’s name is Clarence
Jamal Moment. People call him C.J. as a nick name. He is
fourteen years old, and he is in the ninth grade. He is a
very nice person at times. He is very smart and always
organized. Over the years, I have come to realize that he
is my best friend. If he says that he is going to do
something, he does it. He is also a very competitive
person. He is the baby child of our family of three
children. He has one brother and one sister.
My brother is
about five feet, six inches. He has a built frame and he
has his hair cut low. He wears a size eight and a half
shoe. We hang together a lot so a lot of people see us
together. Everyone that see us together tells me that he and
I look like we could be twins, but I think that he favors my
father more that he favors me. CJ has a stomach that pokes
out a little bit. His ears stick out to the side like mine
but not as far. He has very thick eyebrows and very long
eyelashes. He has very wide shoulders and big triceps. His
biceps are not as big as he wants them to be, though he has
a wide nose and short fingers.
My brother’s
hobbies are playing sports, playing video games and spending
time in church. He is good in every sport that he joins.
He plays football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. His
favorite sport is basketball. I think that baseball is the
sport that he plays the best, though, about two years ago he
and his friends were playing hide and go seek at his friend
Rantravious’ house. He cut the palm of his hand on a piece
of tin that was lying on the side of a shed. CJ had to be
rushed to the hospital that morning. He received five
stitches in his hand that morning. That same night, he
started at shortstop in his recreational baseball all-star
game. He threw out a total of seven people, and there was
not a time in that game that he didn’t get on base when he
was at bat. He led them to win the game five to three. All
of the fans from Washington County praised him after the
game about how well he played with stitches. That was one
of his best days of his baseball career.
He was the leading
scorer on his soccer team too. He has been playing soccer
since he was six years old. He was the leading scorer on his
team six out of the eight years that he
played. When I go to his games I
become his main fan. He makes unbelievable shots. He was
the quarterback and the linebacker of his football team. He
made the basketball all-star team three times out of the
four years that he played recreationally. The second time
he made it his team won state. They beat teams from division
five schools. The last game was very intense. The crowd
was really into the game. Every time someone went to the
free throw line, the crowd went wild. One lady got kicked
out of the game for cursing out the referee because she
thought that he had made a bad call at a critical part of
the game.
In his spare time,
C.J. likes to play video games with me and his friends. He
has four close friends and a favorite cousin. His four close
friends are Rahmire Horton, Jeremy Tillman, Javior Pace, and
Trey Thomas. His favorite cousin is actually his best
friend. His name is Jamarian Scott. Jamarian has been in
his class for four years now. He and Jamarian spend a lot
of time together. They enjoy spending the night at each
others houses. If one of them gets into a fight with
someone, the other one always helps the one that is
fighting. They are both part of the step team at our
church, too. They had a big step show about a month ago.
They had four step teams to step at the show. They also had
a few models to walk across the stage after each step team
finished their routine. They had some surprise steppers to
come out and step at the end of the show. They were a
mixture of Kappas that step for the show. Half of the
steppers were from the University of Georgia , and the other
half was from Paine College . The steppers at Paine College
liked the show so much that they invited his step team to
come open their step show in September. The step team has
to practice three times a week, so they are sure that they
will do well at the step show.
C.J. has good
study habits in school. He always works hard in school. He
has never had a grade below an eighty on his report card.
The only thing that causes him to be unfocused in school is
his attitude. His attitude is the only thing that I hate
about him. He is very smart, so in class, he finishes his
work early and starts talking to his classmates. When the
teacher tells him to turn around, he gets an attitude and
does the opposite. His attitude always gets him in trouble.
One time, his school had a food fight, and he was not a
part of it. The school cop came by while he was leaving the
cafeteria, and asked him who started it. He told the cop to
get out of his face and stop asking him questions. He did
not get suspended for this, but it did result in a call home
from the principle. He got whippings for days for doing
that.
C.J. is
a very competitive person. He is also somewhat of a sore
loser. He competes with anyone who wants to compete against
him. When he loses in anything he throws temper tantrums.
Almost every time we play basketball, he ends up throwing
the ball across the yard or across the court. After he
throws the ball, someone always has to go get the ball, if
they want to continue playing. He can be getting beat by
someone ten years older than him, and he will still get mad
when he loses. One day at the recreational center, he was
playing basketball against a person twenty years old. When
he lost, he threw the ball at his face and busted his lip.
The man did not do anything, because he knew our father
pretty well.
When we play video games he
throws the controllers on the ground when he loses.
Everyone he plays with always just remains quiet and does
something else. Every time he does that, I start laughing
and hoping that it will make him mad, so that he will stop
doing it. It is so bad that sometimes, he loses and goes
into his room for the rest of the day. This is the only bad
quality that he has. He just stopped acting like that this
summer. I guess it is because he knew that he was going to
high school, and he wasn’t going to get away with his
attitude there, or it could be the plain fact that he is
getting older.
C.J. is a very
unique person. He is the type of person who wants to have
the best clothes. If there is something new out, he has to
go and get it, if he has enough money to buy it. He buys
any thing that Jordan puts out. He gets about four pairs of
shoes just to start the school year. His birthday is
February 29. This means that he is a leap year baby. His
original birthday only comes around every four years. He is
really three and a half years old. We celebrate his
birthday on February 28. Some people with his birthday
celebrate their birthday on March 1st, but we
thought it would confuse him about which month his birthday
was in if we did that. The thing that he probably likes
doing the most is hanging out with me and my friends. It
makes him feel like he is older than he really is.
Everywhere my friends and I go, he comes also. We go to the
movies together. We go bowling together. When I used to go
out to eat with my girlfriend, he joined us. We enjoy his
company.
The place where he
enjoys going to the most is Fort Gordon . Fort Gordon is an
army military base in Augusta . We go get a haircut their
every two weeks. The thing that C.J. likes to do the most
in Fort Gordon is go bowling, play in the arcade, and swim
in the indoor pool. In the indoor pool we play a lot of
water volleyball and race in the water. Doing that is
funnier than swimming in the pool.
C.J. is
a very fun and interesting person when one gets to know
him. He is a good athlete. He likes playing with his
friends and his family. He dresses to impress. He has a
little bit of an attitude, but he has improved it over the
summer. He is very smart. Overall, he is a good person.
