I have many hobbies, but I like basketball the most. Basketball is like my best friend. The first time I played it, I felt interested. I was so interested in playing basketball after watching my brother play, however, I started learning when I was 9 years old. So I kept doing it. Even if I didn't win, my coaches alway said "You can't win, unless you learn how to lose." When I was in 5th grade my brother inspired me to do that. I…
The vibration of the basketball hitting the ground is the best feeling the world. Light was shining through the humongous windows onto the worn out gym floor like a flash light. The other teams jerseys were as red as a rose...and as red as the blood pouring out of my mouth. Thats a good story. I am here to tell you about it.…
Playing basketball helps me to maintain friendship with others, and understand the importance of teamwork. Once, we were playing against with an experienced team, and we won by cooperating and good communication. I learned a lot from my teammates, and gained self-confidence, because basketball expanded my social networks and improved my communication skills.…
“Why even try” is something I would say to myself on a daily basis. I am not much of a risk taker, whether it is trying new foods or talking to new people. Throughout my life I have never really taken any chances and run away from them, rather than giving them a try. It was until my freshman year in high school when my attitude changed, from why even try to why not. Although I did not realize it at the time, basketball changed my life for the better. Through perseverance and hard work, I learned to not let fear or insecurity stop me from trying new things.…

I’ve been intrigued by the sport of basketball since I was five. At this age, my parents shared with me that my cousin, Suzie was an Olympic Champion in basketball. With her petite, 5’4 stature, she was compelled to practice and hustle intensely, and she did. People may think that basketball is only a game, but it’s way more than that. It teaches sportsmanship and character. It causes you to persevere and never go down easy. Even though society may think basketball only helps physical development, it has taught me way more and shaped who I am…
From the moment of birth, I was destined to grow up and enjoy the beautiful game called “Soccer.” I grew up in a typical Italian household. As a child I was only spoken to in Italian and grew up living in the same house as my grandmother. My parents were both born in Italia, making me a first generation Canadian. Unlike most kids my age, who are second generation Canadians, I had to learn everything from the start. I had to learn to follow the Canadian traditions for the generations to come, but also be able to keep my Italian heritage proud. Italians are known mostly for their variety of food and cooking, along with their sense of style, but if you ask any Italian to describe something about their heritage, there is no doubt that the beautiful game of “soccer” will be mentioned.…

Basketball is a very breath-taking sport to play. It draws others closer to their friends, and makes them realize who can really play a good game, or who is an unfair player in most cases. Another thing I like about basketball is that we don't only need friends or relatives to play against. We can play individually by ourselves. It can also be easier to learn when by yourself because we can teach ourselves certain tricks rather than copying from a friend. What's also cool about this sport is that you can play almost anywhere, indoors and outdoors, on a road, your driveway, the park, school, even at parties.…
