Basketball, My Love.

     My favorite activity to do is to play basketball. Basketball is the only sport I really stuck to. I have done cheer leading, golf, shot-put and discus in track, and basketball. So, I have done some very diverse activities.  I really enjoyed pondering around in different sports and activities, such as crocheting. I also really enjoy camping, theater, being on the boat at the beach, or just going on joy rides on the boat. Well, back to basketball. I started playing when I was five years old on our  cardinal youth league. I played on that through forth grade. In fifth grade, I played for the Jr. Lady Cardinals travel team.Then in sixth grade, I had back surgery in November so I could not play that year. Then, I tried out in seventh and eighth grade and got cut. I was very upset. I always loved playing basketball. I am starting to play again, in hopes that I might play next year, senior year and throughout college. Even though I am not the typical tall basketball girl, I refuse to let that stop me from trying. I always loved the challenge basketball put you against. You have to be aggressive but not foul and you need to always be on your toes, ready to run down the court and catch a rebound if someone messes up and doesn't stop the ball from getting down there. I will prove that you can be short and still do an amazing job in this sport. I love basketball with all of my heart. Even if I am not on a team, it will always be a part of me.
