My educational experience was fun, entertaining, and adventurous. My elementary and secondary school that I went to were in a small town. One on one help was always easy to get since my class contained about 25 children in the classroom and there was always an aide in the room.

However, this was the best game that I had ever played in my entire high school basketball career, which was exciting and devastating all at once. My life lessoned learned from playing sports was knowing that the effort I put into something is what I am going to get out of
