The last, but my most favorite activity was fishing, it is a passion I cannot stray from. From the time I could walk I have fished. While I was planning this paper I struggled with a topic, after…

The Struggle To Recover Ever since I started playing, I’ve always loved the game of basketball and the exhilarating rush that it gave me. My favorite aspect of it was being part of a team and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces as the ball went through the hoop and we scored a few points.
