I was one of the least impactful team members given my insignificant skill set. During the middle of the season, the team lost three games in row, and the captain called every member to a meeting to air out any conflict within the team. I brought up that I did not know feel like I had a place on this team, as I only placed during garbage time or only a handful of possessions during close games when one of the key members needed rest. One of the warmest gestures that have been given to me, were the words from each of my teammates about how they valued me on the team. Even if my skills were not up to par, they said they enjoyed my presence during team bonding sessions, on the bench, and during practice. I continued playing as a sophomore on junior varsity, while still warming the bench. I did not play during junior year because I wanted to focus on my tennis and academics. Finally, during my senior I decided I wanted to be involved in basketball again. I approached the varsity coach about the team manager position. I taped the varsity team games for review, and recorded the box score. Several of my favorite memories involve basketball. My experiences of playing NBA Live, not only inspired me to play basketball, but also led me to watch NBA on the television. To this day, I still watch the NBA and I am an avid Lakers fan. I am excited to witness were their current young core will take them in the future. I favorite NBA player,
