Gratitude….. I don’t think about it much, but when I do, I realize that I’m grateful for many things. A lot of things come to mind, but basketball, vacations, and summer are the three things that I am most thankful for.
Basketball means so much to me! I’m excited right now because our first traveling basketball tournament is coming up shortly. I can already picture the referee lofting the ball up in the air like a pancake being flipped for the tip off! I like the intensity when it’s a close game. It makes you feel like you have to step up in the big moment. The feeling of victory is also very satisfying. It’s hard to take a loss, but it builds character. I also play basketball with my neighborhood. Sometimes we only have enough people to do a one on one, but it really gets fun when we have more people for bigger games. Sometimes the loser has to do something that the winners pick, and occasionally the winners get something. We play basketball with each other anytime we can. Do you want to know the best kept secret in Clear Lake? It’s called open gym. It is in the elementary gym from one to five during the basketball season. Anybody can play basketball there. I like to go there a lot because I improve and I see my friends. When the cold and long winter days come around, open gym makes me content. I have a great time at open gym! …show more content…
Our most recent vacation was when my mom, grandma, and I went to Germany to visit my sister. She is a nanny there. I’m lucky because I got to see some incredible castles! The architecture there is unique because some of the buildings are really old. I even learned a German word, “danke” which means “thank you.” That came in handy because I used it to communicate. One of the highlights of the trip was when we drove on the Autobahn. It is a road with no speed limit! We were going 120 mph at top speed! It was awesome and it felt like a carnival ride! I will never forget my vacation to
