A New Pair of High Tops for Maury so he can play basketball with his friends

Posted Jul 6, 2022
Maury is asking for new high tops because he wants to get involved in doing more sports. He just finished doing track and now he wants to get more involved in playing basketball. By getting out in the neighborhood to play ball with others, this will also give him more confidence and will enhance his social skills as well as limit his time with video games.

Maury is 16 years old and lives in NC

Maury is a young man who has had to grow up faster than his years. He has had to take care of his younger siblings and become the head of the household without really desiring to be. His favorite subject in school is math and is doing well in his other classes as well. His favorite sports are basketball and football and he likes to indulge in technology. Maurice has a passion for basketball and karate. He has attended karate classes in the past, and he says he enjoyed them tremendously and it taught him a lot about discipline. He now wants to follow his passion for basketball and being a part of a team.
