Kobe was kind like Shaya. He always had a warm smile on his face and a basketball in his hand. He did not talk much in the beginning, but when he did, I would listen. He treated me like a sister. I would ask him to come to our Student Voice meetings when he got out of basketball practice but only if he could. He tried his best to attend most of the time.
