Letter To A Basketball Player
Dylan,
The letter you wrote was very thoughtful and meant a lot to me! Here are my thoughts!
The endless thumping of a basketball is an annoying noise to some, but a wonderful sound to me. I often heard you playing basketball but frankly was focused on other matters---mowing the lawn, cleaning the yard, or getting other stuff done.

I’m not sure where your passion for basketball will take you, but your many other outstanding qualities will undoubtedly make you a successful person regardless of what you decide to do. It’s been fun and very rewarding getting to know you, and I’m looking forward to staying in touch as your life’s adventures continue! You’re a very good basketball player, but more importantly an even better
