It was winter season and that meant basketball. This year was special because I got to play for Davidson Day’s seventh and eight-grade team. See at our school the middles school ran through 5th to 8th. The middle school basketball teams were divided into a 5th-6th-grade team and a 7th 8th grade team.

so afraid of disappointment that one foregoes their ambitions‚ that is true failure. So‚ then‚ when have I truly “failed”? One experience that comes to mind: my elementary school basketball team. I didn’t get much playing time‚ since my coach had a son on the team‚ and I wasn’t the most talented 5th grade basketball player.

Although my doubts‚ I signed up to coach that season. As I progressed

The past weekend was something of the unexpected. I thought I was going to be just doing something normal with my friends but it was not. One of my close friends coaches a seventh grade basketball team. They play in a private league and I was invited to come watch them this past Sunday. I went to just relax and talk to some friends who were also invited. Before arriving to the game I thought I would be more focused on what my friend would be doing as a coach. I was completely wrong. While I was at

I played basketball through middle and high school‚ but I learned quickly that college basketball was not my next step. I loved being around my teammates and always filling them up with laughter and joy. When it was game time‚ I was always there to cheer them on‚ even when they needed encouragement for their mistakes in the game or if they felt like they were having the worse game ever. I love the game of basketball because it keeps everyone on the edge of their seats with every shot that goes in

has improved since Late September‚ however it has not improved to the point that I wanted it to be before basketball. I have somewhat followed my goal of trying to run at the track‚ but I have been unable to run or workout 4-6 times a week.

One reason why I may have not reach this goal was setting the bar slightly too high. Instead
