People coming from a different planet would think every day things we do in life are weird. What we have adapted to and think are normal look very weird to others who haven’t seen people doing things like this. Such as someone who has never shaved before would think that is very odd to shave your beard. Or someone who has never seen a drive threw would think it’s weird to have people have food handed out the window. As we think other cultures are weird we have to look at the fact that our culture is weird to others People that have never seen basketball would thing it is a bunch of people running around with a ball.…
Basketball has been a part of my life as I have played it since I could remember. I was in the school’s team year after year and was even drafted for the team as high school came. However, a bike accident prior to the regional tournament took a toll on my body. The lower pelvic of my right foot was injured and could no longer withstand the stress of playing basketball. All hopes and expectations of playing in the high school team were shattered.…
Sports have been a big part of my life. I love to play them, but I mostly watch them on television. According to my father they are like a religion to me. Frankly, I totally agree with him. My favorite teams who I enjoy watching are both from Portland, Oregon.…
Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times. At the age of eight, I had worn the worst pain ever and that was watching my five, year old brother getting hit by a car while trying to cross the street riding a bicycle that had a loose chain. I remember him trying to get up and get to me, but a few adults that had witnessed the accident had told him to lay down.…
It started at the end of 7th period . The feeling you have when you know something amazing is going to happen. As the bell rings letting us know that we need to go to the cafeteria. We walked in everyone is quiet because we are focus on one single goal to win. “Take your headphones off”,Coach says to us.…
That was embarrassing I love the game of basketball, even when I score in the other team’s basket. In my defense, I was only six years old and it was my first time being on a basketball team. Me and my older brother Houston were on the same team, and at the time we were losing by seven or eight points and there was hardly any time left in the game, maybe a second or two. I was always the smallest kid on the court…
THE EIGHT FOOT CIRCLE “Stand up for what you believe in even if that means standing alone”. When I was younger and got my first opportunity to stand up for myself without anyone pushing me to succeed things didn't go as planned. Although I didn't succeeded I took a lesson from it in the end. “Play ball” the umpire called out as we jogged on to the field. Like every game before I headed for third base.…
At first, It was my team and I just sitting in our little locker room. We were banging on the lockers as hard our hands could handle. Then the music started playing. “BOOM! HERE COMES THE BOOM, I DON’T REALLY WANT IT NOW.”…
Baseball is one of my favorite things to do and watch. I love to play baseball and I also like to watch Major League baseball live at the field or on television. Everything about it is so entertaining from the competitive aspect, to watching my favorite players or even playing baseball. I believe most Americans like baseball as much as I do as their favorite past time.…
Baseball, to me, is not just a sport it is a lifestyle, dream and a passion. I’ve followed the sport since I was seven years old. My dad and uncles used to always take me to all their baseball games and activities. The older I got the more the game became a part of my life. The sport itself has a great history and great moments.…
Last year during fantasy football I had a great team my players rarely got hurt and none of them got suspended. On the other hand almost all of my opponents had to deal with that. My opponents all agreed that I had the best draft overall, and I would still get beat by all of them. First is the draft of a lifetime, I got the second pick and I picked Le'veon Bell. I also got many other good players such as: Drew Brees, Panthers Defense, Derek Carr, and Amari Cooper.…
Growing up I never liked playing sports with all of the other kids in my grade. It was always fun but, I never like the fact that the coaches made you look stupid if you made one small mistake. Even though I didn’t like the coaches, I still tried every sport that was offered to me. I played baseball,basketball and football growing up.…
I would like for you to get to know me a little bit better. I'm going to tell you just a few of my passions. You can tell a lot about someone by their interests. Growing up I’ve always been raised around sports. Basketball it was the Denver Nuggets until Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony traded teams.…

I like I like to think that I was the best one out their because I was the one who would run out their to the players. It was fun going to all the football games because it was so much fun. One thing cam me going.…
All my life I was always put down for being small. Standing at 4’11 now as a freshman in college I get comments on my height every day. So when my basketball coach at the end of my freshmen year of high school blew her high-pitched whistle stopping practice to say “Why is the shortest person on the team jumping high than all of you!” I felt the biggest swell in my chest. That moment in practice was a significant turning point in my life that proves I am capable of accomplishing anything with hard work and dedication.…
