Voices echoed in my mind
when I took my son
to my old school.
Did revive him
one magical time of my life.
Back to the time
where my life was full of
innocence of youth.
My childhood dream
was to be a great
basketball player,
as well as my father.
He was my hero, my companion
,
the best friend that a
child could have.
But he was more here.
His death was a hard reminder
That life is a fleeting shadow
,
every moment is a precious gift
to be shared with anyone.
Wanted to express my son
feelings and
fondest memories
a wonderful childhood.
to see through my eyes,
and help you understand
that via the pull
patience and persistence,
dreams are possible.
This was the legacy left by my father
for over thirty years.
CLENSOM, CAROLINA SOUTH
, 1959
I remember like it was yesterday
.
Was the beginning of an incredible journey
.
The year that would change my life forever...
and define the course
my destination.
1958 was a period innocent,
of hope and change in America.
A time when
thought that everything would be possible.
At least, that's how
in their Maravich.
I like that! A young
with confidence.
We made an election at school.
Who won?
Nixon. I voted for JFK.
Like his father,
Always voting on the weaker.
Weaker?
With Jack Kennedy
we build houses on the moon in 1970
and you know why?
Because he has confidence. -Confidence.
Let Pete coffee, Press.
Many things will change in the next decade.
Dad was an optimist and a genius
to create ways of stimulating my confidence.
I was watching Gene Autry other day
and suddenly realized
a good basketball player
can get along just fine
if so fast
as a gunman.
I'll show you.
Give me the ball.
Get up Peter.
I will teach an exercise.
Turn around.
Lower your arms.
This.
Now, do not pay attention to me
.
I want to focus.
Now estufe the chest!
Not want to think
which is a weakling.
This shoulders in place.
Now when I
drop this ball.
Want beat palms in front
and take the ball
behind you.
But need to focus.
Hear my voice.
Do not listen to me.
Do not listen to me.
This is impossible.
Impossible?
We will see their hands
gunman, ok?
Okay, Helen.
Well, do not pay attention to me
, Press.
You "found" that
could do.
I "knew" that I would
. Trust!
But Dad's inspiration
not change the fact that in school
I was a misfit,
a lonely boy with big dreams.
But this country was not founded
by ordinary people who dared to believe
That big dreams come true?
That's what I was taught.
With liberty and justice for all.
Okay.
Today we talk about dreams.
More specifically,
the American dream.
The American Dream is a concept
and a belief that anything is possible.
What dreams do you have today?
Who would you like to be?
I want to write
in 200 words
By the end of class,
what are your dreams for the future.
Any questions?
Okay, can begin.
How could put
a dream into words?
Something went
in my heart?
When I was in eighth grade,
all we wanted was to be a great
basketball player,
as my father.
But with 1.60
tall and 40 pounds,
who would believe?
believed at first.
When I was not on the court,
everything you thought was that there was another boy
practicing more than me.
And he could
scholarship
should be mine,
If I do not try harder.
Yes, Peter?
I need...
Boy, you do not

Yes, sir.
I hope you today at 15:30,
to deal with the problem.
I figured when Dad knew
I killed lesson
