It all started on a hot Summer day in GreensBoro, NC when little Jameek noticed that something large came in the mail. When Jameek opened the mail, it was a huge colorful guitar. He asked his grandmother, “what’s this that we received in the mail”? She replied “I don’t know son. You tell me”. So little Jameek filled with excitement noticed it had his name on the wrapper the Guitar came in. He said” Grandma Grandma the Guitar is for me, what do I do? His Grandmother advised him to wait for his Grandfather to come in from the yard. At exactly 4:59pm his grandfather came in & was excited to see his grandson holding such a large instrument. Little Jameek begged his poppa to help him set up his guitar. On the first day of school he brought his guitar and showed it off to his classmates & friends, they loved the color. It was red with gold trimming and it had a silver shine to it. Very shiny as the kids would say.
It was Jameek’s Freshman year of High School where he excelled in his academics overall he was a Honor Student but playing the guitar got him noticed by everyone. He continued to stick with his passion, learning to play the guitar and making it his primary focus outside of school. Soon Jameek started spending less and less time with his friends. He spent his time either studying for school or practicing the guitar. Jameek knew that either would be his opportunity at success. Jameek noticed his friends weren’t his friends anymore. Jameek became very depressed. He started drinking & taking pain pills. He Graduated with a 3.2gpa and decided not to enroll in college. His idea of being successful was “if it’s meant for me, it’ll happen for me”. His Grandfather noticed something different about his Grandson, that worried the family very much. All of his fun & creative days were left behind soaring in the past with no possible future.
Jameek met a young beautiful girl by the name of Ashley. Ashley was his Highschool sweetheart that broke up with him on and off due too his depression with friends & family. Ashley was a Secretary for a very well known hospital in the local county where their from. Their relationship grew & he became even more depressed. One Thursday morning Jameek woke up and researched the Address where the Guitar came from. He asked his Grandmom & Grandfather did they know of anyone with that address? Their Home became very silent for days. Nor Party wanted to Relieve the information about where what & why... 3yrs went by & he’s still out looking for a job so him and his girlfriend can find a place to stay. His Grandmother becomes worried? If she doesn’t tell him the truth..things will get worse for him. So the next day his Grandmother sat him down.. & Said? Son the address you was so suspicious about,was your fathers apartment In New York City. Jameek smiled like the Sun ☀️ on a Spring Sunday Morning... He Screamed!!! New York City!! That’s where my Dad lives!!! His Grandmother replied yes son, Yes! From that moment on Jameek Grew a Heroic confidence that he will not give up & let anything stop him from Succeding. A few days passed by and Jameek Grabbed the local news papper off the kitchen counter. He scrolled through the papper & found a article that said Muscians & Guitar Players Needed. He called the number immediately & Soon got the Appointment. Jameek told his family about the appointment! Everyone was so Happy for him!!! 3 Weeks Later he got a call from the band...They said they love his Work!! & He Made The Group!!! Jameek jumped for Joyyyyy!! His tears poured of Happiness & Success!! Thankgod Jameek kept his promise & Succeded Through Failure!!!
