Improved Essays
In middle school as a 13 year old student. As a student, at Bemis Junior High, I enjoyed activities such as playing basketball and soccer. As of my young life I always wanted to play on a team. My father and I always watched basketball, and soccer whenever it was on TV. As basketball season approached faster and faster I had to prepare myself and work hard on practicing basketball and getting better. All summer long leading up to 7th grade I played basketball every day to try and improve my game. The first day of 7th grade had just started. I was super exited to tryout for the basketball team and getting my childhood dream to start at making the basketball team. Throughout the whole year I played basketball each day.
