I met my best friend to this date in 7th grade, his name is Nick. He moved here from West Chester and he’s been so influential in the time that I’ve known him. He’s actually one of the reasons why I started playing basketball. He taught about the sport and I fell in love with it. Yea we still mess around on the courts sometimes and we even practice football plays for fun. He got me into wanting to be active and getting out there to play sports on a team.
We were on the same team for a couple of years and one game in particular game comes to mind. We called it, The Game That Ruined Christmas. School was out for winter break and we had one game left until the playoffs started. It was a Friday night, about 8 PM. The game was about to finish and …show more content…
Located next to Downingtown Middle School was Downingtown West High School, but also located next to that is a school called the S.T.E.M. Academy. I attended S.T.E.M. for three years and transferred to Downingtown West for senior year.
The summer before senior year, I had an internship at Propulsion Media Labs, a video production company located in Media, PA. I learned a lot of great things there and it showed the opportunities and how much there is to offer in my major. I even got to meet Larry Brown, the coach of the Philadelphia 76ers back in 2001. He hosts a charity golf event for cancer research and he was recording a radio spot for his golfing event.
I couldn’t have imagined senior year being any better than it was. I had not seen all these kids and most of my friends since middle school. I often wondered, how would they talk to me? How would they act around me? How would they view me? I kept myself up at night thinking these things, but Nick persistently told me that, everything was going to be just fine...and it was. Me and Nick made a promise that we would attend every single West home football game and we did. Our team was pretty great, although we did lose to Downingtown East…(I dislike them very much by the way). I had not seen all these kids and most of my friends since middle school.
