For example, in high school, freshman year to be exact, I wanted to make the Varsity basketball team. However, I only had two years of experience on an actual team, in 3rd grade, and again in 8th grade. I knew I was good enough to make the team based on what I could do against grown men, but those were not organized, fast paced games. So, I knew it was going to be a hard road. However, to make things harder I missed the first day of tryouts. But during tryouts I was kept me on the court with the freshman, and they took the people for varsity to the main gym. That was when I realized “Okay, new goal… just try to make the freshman team.” So, I worked my butt off both days and I would say I out played a lot of the kids, but they already had a day’s jump on my brother and I, so we were kind …show more content…

After, he asked if I had any questions, then said that I was not allowed to leave until I came up with something. It took me a couple minutes, but I asked one question, then they began to flow out. After a while I began to have fun and learn new things. I worked for about 2 months, and made it a habit to ask 2 or 3 questions a day. But, the questions didn’t just stop at work. When I got to school, I began to ask more, and more questions, especially in history class. With the increase in questions, I also saw an increase in my grades. So, I would say that I owe a thank you to my boss. Even though it was hard to ask questions at first, I learned that it isn’t as hard as it seems. I would agree with this idea because by asking questions, I found something that interested me,
