Kudos to Aaron Chen for a sweet and poetic short film.
The storyline follows Aaron's interest in playing basketball and why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is an important role model for him. This blend of simple 2D animation with a poetic, iambic pentameter, narrative deliver a kind message that young people an easily relate to. I give My Life Plan 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Janet S., KIDS FIRST!

As a 6'1" 13-year-old, I'm drawn to sports, especially basketball as I try to be a gazelle on the courts. When I'm dribbling that ball, all my stress is vacuumed away I can focus on my goal even in the fray. When 13-year-old Aaron Chen was asked to name his hero, he chose Kareem Abdul-Jabbar not only for his prowess on the court, but also because he cares about others. In this 2-minute short, Aaron explains in rhymes why pursuing happiness indirectly (by helping others) is the only route to joy.
