Basketball

In the eighth grade, I started playing basketball and worked towards establishing myself on the middle school team. This began an intensely dedicated career in the sport, driven by commitment and a strong team spirit. As a freshman, I practiced for hours on end to make my high school's JV basketball team. Reaching this goal was more than a personal triumph; it was evidence of the tremendous progress I had achieved quickly, all because of my laser-like focus and unrelenting work ethic. Basketball has taught me so many life lessons, including the importance of good communication, teamwork, and how to build relationships.
