My name is Quamaine Tomlin and i am sixteen years old. I am a sophomore at CSIHSIS, and i cant wait until I graduate and go off to college. I live in a neighborhood named Stapleton. I live with mom and dad, and i dont really like being there most of the time. Most of my family comes from North Carolina. I did not come from there, I am born and raised on Staten Island. I am African American, i like to play basketball for fun or to pass time when i am bored. I really like the game and how competitive it is. I am not a person who likes to lose when i play. I like to win. Someday i would hope i can make it to the NBA and play with my idol Kevin Garnett. He is a type of player i wan to be like. The person who influences me to do good is my brother. He helps me take the right paths. He is a person i know who will not quit on me. The thing that i dislike the most is people who hate. That gets me so mad when people hate on you. I try to ignore it but  sometimes it gets the best of me so i try my best. The issue i am worried about the most is global warming. Global Warming is something that has and will change the world forever. Global warming is a serious issue we should help stop. We should stop pollution and littering so we can have a nice planet and environment. My dream in life is to be a basketball player in the NBA. I feel if i keep working hard i can actually go.
