Who is Wade County

‘Dade County’ is the original name of an area in Southern Florida which was renamed ‘Wade County’ , July 2019, after the great Dwyane Wade, a professional NBA player for the Miami Heat. Wade has been an outstanding professional basketball player since 2003. During the years of his fame he has shown his loyalty to the Miami Heat even after the years 2016-2018 when he played for the Cleveland Cavilers and Chicago Bulls, but he came back home to Miami to finish off his career in 2019.

From The Ground Up

As a child, Wade grew up on the South Side of Chicago. His parents were divorced and his mother suffered from addiction and was struggling to stay out of prison and his father lived with a girlfriend. It was his father who moved the family out of Chicago and into Robbins, IL. As a child he was faced with temptations such as drugs and gangs but he turned to the court and maintained his focus on sports. His sister was a huge influence in leading him in the right direction.

Wade attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, IL and this is where his path to being one of the greatest in NBA history started. During his high school career he received offers from Depaul, Illinois State and Marquette University. These were his only three offers because he struggled with maintaining good grades because he always put a ball in his hand before a pencil.

Wade made the decision to attend Marquette University to pursue his career in basketball up until the year 2003 when he decided enter the NBA draft.

Career for Wade? No It’s A Lifestyle

Aside from Wade’s outstanding performance on the court his performance off the court was just as amazing. He often states his greatest blessing was becoming a father to his four children Zaire, Zaya, Xavier and Kaavia. Although Wade has won 3 Championships as a professional athlete, it will not compare to the excitement and accomplishment of being a father in his eyes.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
