An Open Letter to LeBron James

Winning the 2016 NBA Finals isn't just for your family, your city, or your state. It's for anyone with a dream.

Dear King James,

You're the king of this jungle called Cleveland and we need to hear you roar and see you pounce as we gear up for Game 6 of the NBA Finals. We are all in, and we need our Cavaliers to be all in too. It was meant to be a mean rematch against the Golden State Warriors. It's time to show them that the sun shines bright in Cleveland too.

I have only lived in Northeast Ohio for four short years and there is such a boost in morale when it comes to Cleveland sports this year. The Lake Erie Monsters just broke a 52-year losing streak and brought home the Calder Cup. The Indians have the potential to be promising. The Browns? Well, hopefully, Hue can let the dogs out. What I'm trying to say is: It's the Cavs' turn to bring home a championship, no excuses. We all have faith in you.

LeBron, we were so excited when you came back from Miami. You have proved to be a big influence in turning Cleveland into a comeback city. It is big of you to come home to your roots. Home is a beautiful place where a person has been through the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is heartwarming to see you not just give it your all on the court but in your community. The LeBron James Family Foundation has given a ton of local kids the life they deserve through education and exposure to the world around them. I get goosebumps when I read about projects the LJFF takes on.

To top it all off, you're on a solid path to break some of Michael Jordan's record stats. Speaking of Michael Jordan, every 90's child has a heart beating 10 times faster for Space Jam 2 since you're the star. Space Jam featuring Michael Jordan was every 90's kid's favorite movie at some point. There's no confirmed release date for Space Jam 2 yet, so it may end up being my child's favorite movie. That would be extra special since my generation can say that we watched you grow from high school until now. It will be like the Space Jam circle of life.

It is admirable that you take the time to always address the media and post from your heart on social media. We know you are a dad, and your kids deserve to spend every available second with their favorite superstar. I'm sure it's not easy being a dad, husband, and an NBA player, but you are the ultimate example of sacrifice, hardwork, and teamwork for LeBron Jr., Bryce, and Zhuri.

So let's take this series to Game 7 and win it all. Not just for your team, not just for your kids, not just for Cleveland, not just for Ohio. Win it for everyone who has a dream to do what they love and what they are passionate about. So many schools push kids into thinking that they have to be a super genius in science, technology, engineering or math to be successful. You're a prime example of that not ringing true. I'm not saying anyone can grow up to be a professional athlete, but hard work and a big heart can get someone pretty far in whatever career they choose.

Bring on Game 6. We are expecting a LeBron and Kyrie takeover once again because that was AWESOME seeing each of you score 41 points a piece. It's the ultimate definition of a dynamic duo.

Every Cavs fan is all in not just for you, but also for Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Matthew Dellavedova, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson, Dahntay Jones, James Jones, Sasha Kaun, Jordan McRae, Timofey Mozgov, Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith, Tristan Thompson and Mo Williams.

We love each and every one of you.

Go Cavs and most sincerely,

A dedicated, #Allin216 fan decked out in wine and gold.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
