      The thing that suprised me     
the most,was that O.J. started out   
in leg braces.He started out on      
them because he was having trouble   
getting up and also walking. O.J.'s  
parents took him to see the doctor.  
The doctor said that O.J. was        
suffering from rickets.Rickets is    
a weaking in the bones,which comes   
from not eating enough of the right  
foods.The doctor told O.J.'s parents 
that O.J. would half to be put on    
leg braces.But O.J.'s parents could  
not afford leg braces,so they fitted 
him with a homemade pair.O.J.wore the
leg braces for several years.When    
time finally came the,braces were    
removed.                             
    O.J.'s legs were as skinny as    
a twig,and so people callen him      
names like Pencil Pins.They never    
new that Pencil Pins would grow up   
to be the best running back in       
history.                             
   O.J led a street gang called the  
Superiors.They started fights and    
stold hubcaps.And when they started  
fights O.J. usually won.He was proud 
about his skill of fighting.Some of  
his gang friends went on to be drug  
addicts.O.J. was luckier.He found    
something better than beating up     
people...like sports!                
    Later on in O.J.'s life he tryed 
out football.After that O.J.trained  
as a running back.Finally he became  
the best running back in history!
