    What basketball means to me is family, friends and heritage. Everything so basketball kind of means a lot to me.

We brought the ball up the court passed it around and got a shot up.…

    College Essay About Goals In Life

    Everyone has a goal in life, and each goal can be met if the effort is put in to achieve these goals. Goals can either be physical accomplishments, mental, or even social. The only way a person can meet their goal is by deciding whether they want to put the effort in or not. To some, they might think their dreams will come to them easily, or they will just be given whatever they wish to receive, but I have learned that is not the case. Through basketball, school, and home, I have learned that effort is rewarding.…

    Personal Narrative: Basketball In My Life

    Basketball is my life. Okay maybe it’s not my life, but it’s more than a game to me. It’s a big part of my life and it has been ever since I could pick a ball up. Everyday as a child, coming home from a boring day at school, the only thing I would look forward to was lacing up my sneakers, racing over to the community court, and shooting some hoops. Even in the winter, when there was snow on the ground piled up to almost as tall as I was, I would beg and plead my dad to snow plow the driveway so I could shoot around while freezing my ass off.…
