Today

My biggest passion is basketball. Eight years ago, I marveled at the athletic ability and fans that Lebron James received. Even though he started to play basketball before me, he had a different upbringing, and is all around a better player than I am, I look at his success as a goal for me. Surprisingly, I recently began to play basketball about two years ago and i am still improving on my defensive and offensive skills. In a month or two I should be able to perform one of the most most flashy finishing moves called "the dunk." Since coming to school about a month ago, I have made a lot of progress with my vertical jump and I usually play everyday which leaves me in pain and stumbling to walk.

During my childhood I was overweight and slightly taller than everyone else. This would help to boost my confidence and even strive harder to be like Lebron James. My main goal for myself is to become the best player that i can possibly be and to be able to bring make the varsity team and hopefully improve to the point so that I can become a "McDonalds all American."
