If I had to pick one achievement that I have done to make my community a better place‚ it would be about my basketball team when I was in the high school. Since the school is a small private school‚ I was a co-captain when I was a sophomore‚ which was my last year of high school because I graduated early by taking the high school proficiency exam called CHSPE. What I did as the co-captain was asking a coach to join the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). It is one of the biggest sports league

The ball was give to me for Christmas when all I wanted was to shoot crumpled up pieces of paper into a trashcan. The wrapping paper was unique with basketballs and pink bows covering every inch. The first rip of the paper and it was certain

When I was 10 years old we were out from school on summer break me‚ my brother Wan and my two cousins Shawntavious & Phillip were riding our bikes to the local park to play basketball around 8:00 AM in the morning. We played about 3 games of 21‚ my brother Wan won most of the games.

We all got tired of losing and everybody was hungry‚ so we decided to head

extremely important activity outside of the classroom that has helped me grow as an individual is Church League basketball at my local YMCA. From the outside looking in this league seems to be a form of glorified pick-up basketball with referees and a scoreboard but there is so much more to it. Almost half way through my junior year my father convinced me to try out for the varsity basketball team at school in November to which I hesitated at first but later gave in and tried out only to be cut. At first

ball making a perfect “Swish.” The massive arena that took up the size of two full city blocks that we were playing in was dead silent with disbelief and had hatred for our team. We were supposed to lose so bad that our own players would quit NBA basketball from the embarrassment. Firstly‚ walking into the arena was the worst experience our team had been through. For instance‚ in Detroit it was pretty bad since they were known notoriously for their violent gangs and riots‚ but in L.A. it was a brand

Since‚ I love the sport of basketball I recognized who it was but I wanted to make sure so I ask my friend “ Is that Shaquille O’neal?” my friend said in return “ I think so.” My heart jumped out of my body‚ as soon as he said that.
