The life: Paul Harris

Paul Harris has this fear. One day, he worries, his youngest son won't recognize him.
Harris, the 6-foot-5 guard on the Syracuse men's basketball team, says it's still hard to balance everything, between the games, the practices and the classes. When he feels like it's all too much, he thinks about them, his two sons.
"Up until a few months ago I tried going home every time I could," Harris said. "But it's hard."
Although Paul III and Nakyhi come to the Carrier Dome to watch their father play as much as possible, the only regular contact between Paul III and Paul is over the phone. That's where the fear comes from.
"[Paul III] calls me all the time," Harris said. "I call him on the phone all the time."
Harris originally wanted to be a photography major, but was told he would not have the time. This is his story, in photos.

Paul i think that if you just keep talking to them and if you send them pic of yourself and see them every now and then they wont forget who you are. Remember you can be or do what ever you set your mind to don't worry about what people may say that you cant do this or that because you know you can. (Continued…)
