to give you a one word answer of what I like about school I would swiftly respond Science. For me science made me question‚ and it opened up various pathways into understanding the state of which we live in.

My First High School Basketball Game I believe playing a sport that you love is fun‚ but at the same time winning is more fun. For me I figured this out when I was ten years old. I was playing a pickup game at the RAC and my brother hit the game winning shot. I was so happy because I gave him the assists. Then it came to me like I bolt of lightning that playing basketball is fun when you win. Ever since that moment it helped me perform to my full potential. It was cold snowy Saturday morning
