How It Happened
It
all started when Dwayne Wade`s sister told
him they were going to the movies, but
instead they
instead went to a different South Side neighborhood. Tragil then returned to Chicago, and left Wade to stay with his father, who had re-married. The move changed the course of Wade's life, leading him away from the crime-ridden area he had lived with his
mother.
A year later, Wade's father moved the family to Robbins, Illinois—a south Chicago suburb. Wade's new environment allowed him to play basketball outside with his stepbrothers, new friends and father, who coached part-time at a local recreational center. It was here that Wade attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, where his older stepbrother Demetrius had already made a name for himself as the star of the basketball team.

Famous Quote
No team works out team work.
I understand that I am not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that has happened to me, good and bad.
The biggest thing is to let your voice me heard, let your story be heard.
Growing up I have always dreamed of winning the NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was never something that crossed my mind.
I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.Slide5
