Kobe,

Thank you for teaching me that everything is earned, not given.

that discipline and hard work can take you to places.

that it’s okay to be stern for the sake of knocking urgency in people’s heads. 

for being one of the reasons why I used to don my jersey after an exhausting day in class.

and most of all,

Thank you for making me love the game this much.

You will always be my basketball hero.
