It all started on a Saturday morning. I used to hate basketball so much, but my dad woke me u saying that I had basket ball the next day. I was so furious but it was morning so I thought i was dreaming. Once I found out it was real and not a nightmare I ignored my dad which only lasted for about 30 minutes.

She explained to me about how it was okay for me to wear boys basketball shoes. After she gave me that talk my whole mood changed. I started to like basketball. We learned what basketball was and worked on dribbling.

Her shoes were like 3 sizes bigger than mine but I didn't care I just wanted to play. When we got there my shoes kept on falling off and my dad saw that I was wearing my sisters shoes. He was upset so he didn't let my coach put me in. I was upset that I couldn't play in my first game but I was so proud of my team for
