My 80s Journal - Shawn Kemp

This is what I wrote on August 30, 1985. I was 14 years old. I was in 8th grade.

I went to the N.W. - Concord game. I took Mike. We won. I saw Shawn Kemp at the game. He plays basketball for Concord. He is super good. He is only a Sophmore. He will be famous someday. I gave Tara my I.D. bracelet at the game.

• Oddly, for me, I don't remember too much about this day.
• Sometime in the past 24 years I learned how to spell sophomore.
  
• I miss Mike. I haven't seen him or talked to him for about nine years.
• I'm still friends with Tara and talk to her pretty often.
• I was blessed to have friends like Mike and Tara growing up.
