I am currently on line at the new shoe store on Astoria Ditmars Blvd and I really want to get these shoes because they are the new Jordan 1 and even if I wear them for a week or 2 I can still sell them for more money than I got them for. It is a really hot day today and I tried to get there as early as possible, but there were already people there, I was in a pretty decent part of the line. I had my two friends here who I am going to pay them an amount for being here, but I will make the most profit and make waiting on this line worth it. It is good that this shoe is dropping on a weekend because then I don’t have to worry about school work, but at the same time the weekend means that there are going to be more people. When I finally reached the store, I got in and it was the best feeling, not only did I know that I secured the shoes, but there was also air conditioning in the store. It was a really successful day for me because I got what I wanted, and my friends also got paid and I decided to keep one of the shoes at the end for myself anyways because I was able to get three pairs and I made more than double my money. It was worth all of the people around me waiting on line for 3 hours and all of the noise.

Memories:
● Starting my friend group
● Connecting my family together
● Being the cool kid with the new shoes
● One of the longest hobbies I stayed with
● Going to sneakercon and meeting some celebrities
● Waiting on the long lines so I can be the only one in my class with the new shoes

● Creating contacts who would buy my shoes so I could make money
● Being able to use the extra money to help out my family sometimes
● Sneakers define who I am, it shows what mood I am in for that day
● Being able to hang out with my friends who have jobs, but I get to work whenever I want with selling shoes
