The few that did were thinking about quitting. “For the love of the game,” I tell them, “keep going until the end.” But every day I see more and more dropping like flies. Many of them don’t want to feel the soreness and sweat dripping down your back. Others just felt like they sucked at basketball and weren’t good enough. As the results come in I am faced with a challenge. I find…

I believe that hard work pays off, almost every time. Last winter, I joined my local select basketball team, Ballard select. I didn’t have to try out, the coach just saw me play and asked me to join the team. After a few months of playing with Ballard, I became very committed and grew very close to my teammates.

To begin, Pinkman has made some robust quotes which will not be forgotten. His quotes make one think about our daily lives and I think that Pinkman’s…

But on the week of December 21 the spirits come to take souls of the disturbing children or people, hoping the ally would let them go.

“No matter how much suffering you went through, you never want to let go of those memories,” was once quoted by Haruki Murakami. Last year I set a goal, I wanted to be on the Owasso Varsity Pom Team. In order to be on that team I had to have my right split. I began to stretch everyday for the past year. I would hold the split for 2 minutes hoping for it to get lower. I watched YouTube videos on how to get your splits and increase your flexibility. I got my splits a couple of months before my…
