Ngombulelo wokufowunelwa kwiinyanga ezilisithoba zale ngqungquthela ukuba uLafferty waba nodumo kwihlabathi lonke, kodwa, ekuqaleni, lo mboniso awuzange uqale njengebali lomdlali.
Emva kokuba uYakobi azibonele nje njengomdlali webhasikidi. Akumangalisi ukuba uLafferty wayenomdla kakhulu kwindima kaNathan Scott. Wayeqonda kakuhle kwaye uyayiqonda isimo sakhe, iingxaki zakhe nokuphonsa, iiminqweno kunye nokudumala.
I-Biography kaYakobi yaqala kwisixeko saseHamet, eCalifornia. Lo mntu wazalwa ngoJulayi 25, 1985. Ubuntwaneni bukaYakobi bebuhle kwaye bungahlali. Wayenomdla kunye nabahlobo kunye nomzalwana Qala, kodwa, nangona kunjalo, ngelo xesha, le nkwenkwe yayibandakanyekile kwiimeko ezinzulu. Ukususela ebuntwaneni, uJames wadlala ibhasikidi kwaye wayeya rhoqo kwiiseshoni zoqeqesho, kwaye waqhubeka nokuqhuba izifundo. Wayebandakanyeka ekusebenzeni ukususela kwiminyaka emithandathu. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba sinokuwugcina umdlalo womdlali omhle kangaka, okokuqala kuqala, simele simbulele unina. Wayesoloko efuna ukuba oonyana bakhe bangabikho kwizitalato ngaphandle komsebenzi, kodwa babebandakanyeke kwinto enomdla kunye nokuphuhlisa. Yingakho wathuma uYakobi waza waqala ukufundisisa ubugcisa bezobugcisa. Amakhwenkwe ayethanda ukuya kwiindawo zokufunda. Kodwa ngelo xesha baphatha ngokungakumbi njengento yokuzilibazisa kunokuba ngumsebenzi oza kuba yintsimi yobomi babo. Ukongezelela, uYakobi, ngelo xesha, umsebenzi omkhulu wawuyi-basketball. Wayekwazi ukufundela kakuhle esikolweni kwaye, ngexesha elifanayo, ukudlala iqela lebhola lebhola lebhola. Umdlali we-Smart - uya kuvuma, oku akusoloko kufumaneka. Kodwa uYakobi wazama ukwenza okulungileyo kuyo yonke into. Wayengomnye walabo bantu abangenakulahlekelwa kwaye bayeke. Ukuba uthetha into ethile, uhlala ewuzisa ekupheleni.
Ngokuphathelele umsebenzi wakhe, ngoko, xa umfana eneminyaka elishumi ubudala, waba nenxaxheba yokuqala kwidlali yesikolo. Ewe, kubalulekile ukuphawula ukuba ngaphezu kokudlala ibhola yebhokisi kunye nezifundo ezilungileyo, uJames wayekwazi ukudlala kwisiteyimu sezemidlalo. Mhlawumbi akazange acinge ukuba le nto yayiyomsebenzi wakhe oyintloko, kodwa ngo-2001 yonke into yayitshintshile. Lo mfana wamenywa kwinxaxheba kwiichungechunge ze-TV uEmeryl. Apho wabona ukuba uYakobi wadlala iindima ezimbini ze-episodic kwiifilimu. Kwakhona wadlala kwelinye lemizobo, apho kwakufuneka akhombise izakhono zakhe zezemidlalo, oko ke, kodwa, uYakobi wayengenanto ingxaki, kodwa uyavuya. Ewe, emva koko, iyure likaYames Lafferty yafika. Ngomnyaka ka-2003, lo mfana ugqibile isikolo waza wagqiba ekubeni azame ngoluhlu olwalusanda kuqala ukutshulwa. Ukukhangela abadlali abancinci nabathembisayo ukuba benze imisebenzi kwi "Hill Hill". Xa uYakobi waya ekuphoseni, wagqiba ekubeni uya kuzama kwiqela likaLucas Scott. Kwakubonakala kuye ukuba lo mlingiswa nguye olungele kakhulu kumbonakalo wangaphandle kunye nomlingiswa. Kodwa kwavela ukuba uluvo lukaYakobi luhluke kakhulu kwiimbono zabavelisi. Baqiniseke ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uYakobi wayengafani noLucas Scott. Ngoko ke, banikela indima kaLuka Chad kuMichael Murray. Kodwa uJames wayenendima yesibini yabazalwana-uNate. Ekuqaleni, umlingiswa kaYakobi wawungalunganga. UNathon Scott ungunyana wesityebi kunye no-Dan Scott onamandla, ofuna ukuba uNeyton afinyelele phezulu kwimidlalo kunanoma yintoni indleko. U-Neyton uhlaselwa ngumxinzelelo kayise, kodwa akakwazi ukumrhoxisa, ngoko uziphatha njengomfana onobukroti kunye noqinisekileyo. Kodwa ukwazi umzalwana wakho, uLucas, yonke into iyatshintsha. Ekuqaleni, abafana basemagqabeni, kodwa emva komhlobo omkhulu weLate, uGailie, uqala ukufundisa ngeNate, utshintsha ngokuphawulekayo, eqonda ukuba ubuhlobo bokwenene nothando luyiyo. Ngomdlali ongeyena mdlali webhayisikiti ongeyena mdlali onqwenela ukufumana yonke into ayifunayo, kwaye akakhathaleli ngabanye, uNeyton uba ngumntu onobubele, onengqiqo, onothando nothembekileyo olungele ukunikela yonke into ngenxa yomntakwabo, intombi ethandekayo, unyana kunye bahlobo.
Olu phuhliso lomlingiswa luvuyisa kakhulu abaphulaphuli. Ngoku uNate akathandwanga kuphela ubuhle kunye nemisipha, kodwa nangomntu wakhe, owawushintsha ngenye ixesha, waguquka kwaye waphucula. Kuza kube yimhla, waqala ukudubula ixesha leshumi loluhlu "Uluhlu lomthi." UJames Lafferty usayine isivumelwano. Ngendlela, wenqaba izibonelelo ezininzi ukuzinikezela ngokuzeleyo kwiifayile kulolu chungechunge. Umdlali ucinga ukuba "intaba yomthi omnye" awunjani uhlobo lwesephaphu opera ongayidlala ngayo "ngemikhono yakho". Ukudlala kulolu chungechunge, kufuneka uzinikele ngokupheleleyo kumlingisi, kwaye ungaqothulwa phakathi kokudubula kwiiprojekthi ezahlukeneyo.
Namhlanje, uYakobi uhlala eWilmington, eNorth Carolina. Ukongeza kokufowunelwa kwinqununu, uJames uyaqhubeka nokudlala ibhola. Ngethamsanqa, akanazo iingxaki zempilo njengobuntu bakhe. Kuze kube ngoku, uYakobi uhlala echaphazelekayo kwimidlalo eyahlukahlukeneyo yokunceda, iifizi eziya kuzo ukunceda abahlwempuzekileyo, abagulayo kunye nabahlelelekileyo. Ukongeza, uYakobi ulungiselela iyunivesiti. Uyaqonda ukuba kungakhathaliseki ukuba yimpumelelo indlela yakhe, njengendlela yomdlali, idiploma yemfundo ephakamileyo ayiyi kuba ngumqobo. Ngoobomi bakhe bomntu, loo mntu akafuni ukuthetha ngaye. Kungenzeka ukuba, ngelixa esedwa, njengoko echitha ixesha lakhe kunye nabangane kunye nenja yakhe ethandekayo uNino. Kodwa, mhlawumbi, uYakobi nje uyazi indlela yokuzifihla ubomi bakhe, kuba kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba umfana onobuhle nesisilumko engazange ahlale esithandana naye onobuqili nobuhle njengalowo.
