don’t think I can forget my public school years when I tried out for the basketball team. I had a tremendous interest in it due to the fact that my grandpa played nearly every weekend but I was not very good, and so I was cut from the team. So at Bristol Eastern, I wasn’t really given the chance to discover my true interest in basketball.

Treasure Island The setting of treasure island is set in two different places in the mid 18th century. The book starts at the Admiral Benbow, a small inn by the sea at Black Hill Cove in Bristol, England and treasure island, which is an island off the coast of Spanish America.
