Personal Narrative: My Life As A Basketball Player

i was orignally born in detroit, michigan, but i was raised in dublin, georgia. my parents are donald and marquita timmons and they are fourty-two years old. i have two siblings named jaydon timmons and marandon timmons they are fourteen and seven years old. i am a basketball player here at brewton-parker college. this year i was ineligible due to my high school grades, but i am looking forward to making a major impact next season. basketball has always been my passion and i started playing ever since i could walk, my father wanted me to be a basketball player ever since i was born. so after learning the basics of the game, i became pretty good for my age. i always played with the older kids so i can be better than everybody my age. by
the time i was in the sixth grade, i had workouts with the junior varsity players. my coaches were very impressed with m skill set and my knowledge of the game at such a young age, but what stood out for me more than others was my competitive spirit. i never let anybody out work me. somebody that everyone think is the best always had to show me why they were the best when they played against me, and i think inherited that trait from my mother because she always strives to be the best she can be in all her endeavors. in highschool, i played varsity all four years earning all region every year and all state my junior year, but i had a few set backs.
i got caught up in the street life at a very young age and it got me into a lot of trouble, but all that changed for me when my cousin who was also like my bestfriend was murdered in a drug robbery. i got myself together and formed a relationship with Christ after that and i realized that life was not meant for me. so i focused on basketball, and it showed my junior year averaging 23 points per game, 7 assist, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. my senior year i suffered a major knee injury that sidelined me most of the year. that is mainly why i am eager to play for The Barons. in my future i am looking foward to being very successful. im majoring in education, but i plan to play professional baskeball after my four years here at brewton parker. also, i am hoping that i can get started with a coaching career and invest in a property management business along with a few other idea's that i am generating. i hope to have a family one day and pass my business down through generations. i believe that all things that happened to me in the past molded me into the man i am today. the world is not all sunshine and rainbows but you have to be built to whether the
storm.
