Alright, alright, let me tell ya ’bout this Raven Johnson gal. I ain’t no fancy writer or nothin’, just tellin’ it like it is, you know?
Who is this Raven Johnson, you ask? Well, she’s this basketball player, plays in college, real good from what I hear. Folks in the basketball world, they all know her, seems like. Her folks, Carolyn and James, they played sports too, back in their day. They got Raven and her brothers and sisters into sports real early. Raven’s daddy, he gave up a lot so she could play, that’s what I heard. That’s how families are supposed to be, helping each other out, you know?
Now, I don’t know much about basketball, but I know hard work when I see it. And this girl, Raven, she works hard. You gotta work hard if you wanna be good at somethin’, ain’t that the truth? Just like farmin’, you gotta put in the time, gotta sweat a little, gotta get your hands dirty.
- She’s a college basketball player.
- Her parents were athletes too.
- They got her into sports young.
- She works real hard.
Folks talk about this “deep dive” thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like divin’ into a deep well or somethin’. I reckon it just means learnin’ somethin’ real good, knowin’ it inside and out. Like knowin’ your own backyard, you know? You know where the rocks are, where the weeds grow, where the good soil is. That’s what a deep dive is, I guess.
They say you gotta do a deep dive to understand things. Like if you’re learnin’ about Taylor Swift’s songs, you gotta listen to all of ’em, really listen, not just hummin’ along while you’re doin’ the dishes. You gotta pay attention, you know? Same with basketball, I guess. You gotta watch the games, study the players, learn the moves.
And this deep divin’, it ain’t just for basketball or music. They say you can do a deep dive with a new customer, figure out what they need. Or you can do a deep dive to learn how to swim underwater real good, know how to stay down there and not float up like a cork. They even got courses for it, teachin’ you how to plan your dives and all that. Sounds complicated to me, but I guess if you put your mind to it, you can do anythin’.
Now, Raven, I bet she did a deep dive into basketball. She probably spent hours practicin’, shootin’ hoops till her arms ached, runnin’ up and down the court till her legs felt like jelly. That’s what it takes, you know? Dedication. Like plantin’ seeds and waitin’ for them to grow. You gotta be patient, gotta keep at it, even when it’s hard.
So, what’s the point of all this? Well, I guess the point is, if you wanna be good at somethin’, you gotta work hard, you gotta pay attention, and you gotta be willin’ to learn. Just like Raven Johnson. She didn’t get good by sittin’ around doin’ nothin’. She put in the time, she put in the effort, and now she’s playin’ college basketball. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, I reckon.
And remember, even if you ain’t a fancy basketball player or a famous singer, you can still do a deep dive into somethin’ you care about. Whether it’s learnin’ how to bake a good pie, or plantin’ a garden, or just understandin’ your own family better. It’s all about payin’ attention, puttin’ in the effort, and never givin’ up. That’s what I think, anyway.
Just like Raven Johnson, you gotta find your own court, your own game, and play it with all your heart. That’s the secret, I reckon. Ain’t no magic to it, just hard work and a whole lotta determination. And that’s somethin’ we all can do, ain’t it?
