What is it like to look up to someone who is really good at basketball like Kevin Durant? Watching them dedicate every moment of their free time into making themselves better at something they love. Even better being able to say that they have inspired you to do the same thing that you are so passionate about. I have a strive to want to be as good as him someday. Knowing that all of this hard work and dedication will eventually pay off. Having the same passion as Kevin Durant is heartwarming…

Hi! Today I will be telling you about my topic. My topic is Volleyball. When volleyball was first made, it’s name was “Mintonette”. Volleyball is a game where two teams of six players are on a court and are hitting a large ball back and forth over the net without letting it hit the ground. Volleyball is also where 3 plays on each team hit the ball one after another, once someone has hit the ball that player loses the right to hit the ball again. This is my argument on why volleyball is one of…

I, myself, have taken an interest in basketball. I would not say that I am the best but I also would not say I am the worst. I, personally, took an interest in basketball in the sixth grade and it grew from there. In sixth and seventh, I played in parks and recreations. Then in eight, ninth, and tenth grade I played for our school. Eighth and ninth grade we had undefeated seasons and in tenth grade we only lost one game. We lost that game because we were playing the Leonardtown girls for a third…

Imagine having to play basketball with a soccer ball and a peach basket. James Naismith didn't have the money to invent a new ball so they just played with a soccer.

Basketball was created by James Naismith. In 1891,he invented the game of basketball. He worked as a gym teacher at the YMCA. He worked in…

Sometime from now I hope to be a basketball coach. I’m very good with kids and over the years my patience has improved. I’ve worked with kids before as a camp counselor with the City of Garland for the Stars camp. It is a summer camp for underprivileged families. Many parents do not have the money to hire baby sitters or afford certain places that watch kids, while they go to work. The City of Garland came up with the camp so that parents would be able to afford a place where their kids can be…

All The Way down Here A child destined to be an athlete like his father and older brother. My destiny was to pretty much play basketball. If any of my friends were reading this they would be stunned to think that my destiny was to play basketball. In that case their assumption is valid cause I’m short. Coming from a family with five males over six feet tall in the last generation. Alas my genetic code has altered in a way where I will not be as towering as my ancestors. Nevertheless that would…

The hour of Jewel would be from 9:30 to 10:30. It wouldn’t be everyday though because I am very busy on some days. This would be my special time because I can play basketball, watch movies, and eat lots of food. I would most likely play basketball first since I don’t want to exercise on a full stomach. When I watch movies, they won’t be specific movies, since I do like all types of movies. When I’m watching a movie that’s the perfect time to eat all the foods I like, especially since I can’t do…

The Script: What’s coming next ? Life is like climbing the stair with the unknown height. You don’t know what will be coming and what will happen later. But just let it be what it will, and get to the top so you can see the scenery you dreamed of, that's what I think about the life. I never worry about what is going to happen in my future, because my sister told me I just get myself ready for everything that may be coming, so I can face the obstacle bravely. The author, Herman Melville once…
