AUTHOR'S NOTE: Its hard living with a terrible life,but this book is based on a true story how Michale turn his life around. and how I felt about the book. Finally he gets to feel what its like to have a good family. Leigh takes him in and helps him go through his life.

Walking down the street in a snowy day with shorts and a tee shirt.Not knowing were to go or what to do next. That is exactly what Michale has to experience every day in the book blind side which actually happen to him because the book is based on a true. Michale is a high school-er living in Memphis Tennessee. With a highly troubled life. He has gone in and out of many school making bad decision after bad decision. With no dad and a mom that has a major drinking problem.  But finally so hope had come for Michael a close friend that has seen Michale's struggles. Decided to apply Michale into a Christan school on the other side of school. This school wasn't just any ordinary it was the Birarcrest Christan High School.

      The reason this was such a big deal is because its almost unheard of for some one the other side of town to go to this rich high school in the Memphis suburb. But Michael couldn't last in a public school how is he going to last in a private school,  fortunately they let Michale in. There’s a problem behind this though Michale is the most sigh non confident kid you'll every meet. Also standing at  6’5 and 309 pounds not many kid at his school were going to come up and talk to him. But one day Sean came up to him and was bound and determined to learn something about Michael. So he did and it made Michale allot less sigh.

Since the head basketball coach noticed Michale's confidence level went up he thought it would be a great idea for him to play basketball considering hes 6’5, and well he really provided it the coach stated “I’ve never seen a kid that big move that good.” Michale was a very successful basketball player. One day Sean's mom his dad a very wealthy man were driving around and Sean noticed Michale walking down the street shivering. So Sean wanted his mom to pull over so they did and they asked Michale what he was doing and he said he was going to basketball practice but that's not possible because the season was over and his mom asked him really why he was going to the gym and the true reason was because he need heat. That's when Sean's mom really realized that this boy need help. So she did she even offered for him to live at there home. This was incredible for Michale because Michale has never even slept in a bed

One hot summer day the football team was practicing and Michale walked by all alone, the coaches thought they'd go over to talk to him to see if he wanted to play football an he did. So he got his pads on and started out practicing. Unfortunately he was not the greatest football player and his mom had watched one of the practices and had enough she walked over and talked some sense into the coaches and Michale and it worked. Michale had actually started now and he played in the first game. During the first game Michale was getting whooped he was letting his men through and he couldn't do anything. Then he faced a turning point he was trying to not let the other players get under his skin and he had enough and he went out there and completely dominated. He did so good he actually was getting scouted by the best football team in the country. But there was one problem he couldn't get his grades high enough to go to a division one university. So his parents hired a tutor to come to his house and it helped. So he could play for pretty much any collage he wanted to.

This was a very very tough decision for Michale because his parents went to Ole  Miss and he wanted to go to LSU. Considering his parents did so much for him he thought he should go there so he did. Also there he did great so the next level was the NFL was he good enough well the Baltimore raven thought so they drafted him in the 2009 NFL draft. Now Michale is a very successful player and hes living a great life because of the change he made.

I thought the blind side was a great book and I would prefer it to anyone who is interested in sports.The only thing that i didn't like is it wasn't always is it wasn't always based on the main topic Michale's life. May be you ll be flipping through the channels on a Sunday and Michale's playing well you can stop and watch you'd probably realize that Michale's story is a true miracle.
