Playing sports has always been a passion of mine. I played Pop Warner Football until I broke my foot in third grade. After my foot healed, I decided to play soccer because my my cousin played and I wanted to try it . Ever since I started playing soccer, I have always my hardest and strived to get better. All summer I worked with my friend Imanol practicing hard to make sure we made the team.…
People coming from a different planet would think every day things we do in life are weird. What we have adapted to and think are normal look very weird to others who haven’t seen people doing things like this. Such as someone who has never shaved before would think that is very odd to shave your beard. Or someone who has never seen a drive threw would think it’s weird to have people have food handed out the window. As we think other cultures are weird we have to look at the fact that our culture is weird to others People that have never seen basketball would thing it is a bunch of people running around with a ball.…
Have you ever made your first half court shot? I know I have! It was any other basketball practice, oh wait it was the last basketball practice of the school year/season! The whole team was there.…
Basketball Nerd “If only I could beat Tommy in basketball,” I though. Everyone would laugh at him and I could prove that I am good at sports. I have recently moved in because of getting bullied in other schools. I have gotten pushed into lockers, punched in the face and even locked in the teacher’s lounge. My parents are sick of me getting bullied.…
Basketball To go to the tournament, I wake up early and eat breakfast. At the tournament on the court, I arrive. To get ready to play, we warm up.…
That was embarrassing I love the game of basketball, even when I score in the other team’s basket. In my defense, I was only six years old and it was my first time being on a basketball team. Me and my older brother Houston were on the same team, and at the time we were losing by seven or eight points and there was hardly any time left in the game, maybe a second or two. I was always the smallest kid on the court…
Basketball became my favorite sport when my daddy first took me over my uncle house and watching my cousins play basketball against each other. At the age of 10 my dad bought me my first basketball goal, then my friends start coming over and play with me. I love basketball so much I started playing them for money. Playing for the school was my best time ever. Elementary to middle school I started point guard and shot my first game winning shot in the eighth grade.…
I bolted to the wing. Nabil had just caught the rebound. He took charge of the point. Trying to showcase his “great” dribbling, he got the basketball knocked out of his hands. The defender jumped for the ball.…

Spring 2016 was my first season playing lacrosse at Edison High School. I was truly excited to learn a new sport. From what I knew, lacrosse was basically soccer with sticks; throwing and catching a ball with a stick seemed a relatively straightforward concept. In the first practice, I wasn’t able to throw or catch a single ball. Whenever I threw the ball, it fell out of my stick and whenever I tried to catch the ball, it bounced off the side or flew past me.…
It was my senior year of basketball and it was just getting started. This was it, my final year where we were going to win State and I was going to get a college scholarship. I had prepared all summer and in the preseason, nothing was going to get in my way. Our team was smaller this year and lacked the skill we had in the previous years, but that just meant I was going to have to step up even more. I was totally ready for the season and whatever challenges we would face as a team.…
During the winter that all changed i saw all the rowayton people passing the ball around on the field with some really good lucking girls so i thought to myself maybe if i play lacrosse i can get myself a girlfriend from rowayton.

I was running through the buildings while bullets were whizzing past me, I ran to the end of the block, turned the corner around the building and BANG!! The day began with me getting all my gear together. I called Brandyn, my friend, to come pick me up at 8:30. He showed up at 9:00 because he thought that we would be rally early, he was right, we got there at around 9:30. THe first game was at 10:00 but Gamepod did not start the game till 10:45.…
A few years ago, I discovered something about me that changed the way I think about life. As a basketball player, it is required to be physically fit to play. During one practice, I suddenly started to feel weak after doing laps around the court with my team. After the third lap, my coach noticed that my pace started to decrease.…
The first time I learned basketball was when I am at the 6th grade when my physical education teacher registered me in a basketball summer camp. I used to be a shy and quiet girl but since joining the summer camp I started to socialize and have friends. After two months of learning basketball, I began to like it. Then, I started playing basketball in high school as part of my school’s team and I’ve been playing ever since. It started out as just an activity, and then became a hobby that’s something fun to do but later on, I found that I really like basketball.…
