my eulogy

Dominique was a great person. As a child he was very quiet and shy. He never had any problems in school, and most definately not with the law. Growing up he attended James McCosh Elementary School, a very rough school located in his neighborhood. He loved that school, almost everyday he would come home and tell me how good his day went. But... when things got rough, and things got out of hand, he got out of there. After leaving McCosh he went to St. Columbanus Catholic School where he learned how to play basketball, and scored hundreds of points over the years. After graduating he attended Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, one of the best schools in the nation. For Dominique high school was a big deal, he could wait to get there but as soon as he got there he couldnt wait to get out. From time to time he would lose focus and his grades would slip but he had a freakishly strong brother also attending Whitney Young to keep him in check. Dominique has always been close to his family, but especially his sister, she was his favorite and he wouldnt admit it but he looked up to his big brother and followed in his footsteps by coming to Whitney Young. Although he thought his brother was a bit immature, he always found him to be very entertaining. He never had just one good memory while attending Whitney Young, he just enjoyed going to school with his brother and bestfriends everyday. I think i can speak for all of us when i say, "we will miss you."
