I have played basketball since the sixth grade. However‚ for the duration of my middle school years‚ I was repeatedly cut from the A team and I did not get the opportunity to play significant minutes in game until my eighth grade year. In many ways‚ that year was a turning point for my basketball career. Frustrated with being the only eighth-grader to be on the B team‚ I dedicated myself to improving as much as possible‚ both during and after the season. That year‚ I was most valuable player for

My body slams into the ground. I get up wipe the dust off my back‚ pop my board into my hand‚ and sprint up the stair set for one more go. Growing up I fit the skateboarder stereotype‚ I was a skater boy who didn’t care about his future. Little did anyone know‚ skating was the one thing that kept me going.

I also like to play offense because it’s so exciting when

John said “do you want to ride to the courts with me?” I said “yea‚ what time do you want to meet me?” John asked “what time do you have to show up to the courts?” I replied “my coach

“You can’t eat that‚ it has sugar in it.” “Does that hurt?” “Is that the good or bad type of diabetes?” Listening to ignorant people talk about diabetes has to be the worst part about the disease‚ besides getting strange looks from people as you pull out your insulin and pretend its heroine. From hearing stories about someone’s great grandpa losing a foot due to diabetes and miraculously they’re an expert on the subject‚ or if one blood sugar isn’t in range‚ you’ll lose your liver.

If I had to pick one achievement that I have done to make my community a better place‚ it would be about my basketball team when I was in the high school.

What I did as the co-captain was asking a coach to join the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). It is one of the biggest sports league
