What I love to do... Basketball!

There are so many things that I like and that I enjoy doing. One of the things that I like to do is play basketball. Basketball is my favorite sport and I really enjoy playing it. When I have some free time, I like to go to the park and play a game; or sometimes I go to get some practice. Basketball is the sport that helps me be relaxed and helps to take away all the stress and anger I have. I can just play or be shooting some hoops, but as long as it is basketball related, I’d do anything. I don’t know what I would do without playing some basketball; it is the best thing and my favorite hobby; it is my life. In my junior year, I went to go tryout for basketball and I feared that I wasn’t going to get in and be part of a team. I went to practices where the coaches saw us how good our skill was. I tried my best and when there were tryouts, I tried my best. But I think that the fear that I wasn’t going to get in betrayed me because I was hoping to do very good, but instead I didn’t do as god as I wished I had done. The next day they had the list of the ones who definitely made it and although I was hoping my name was there I knew it wasn’t; I went to check and my name wasn’t there. I got sad, but the good news was that the coach announced that there will be other tryouts the following week, and so I got happy. I practiced even harder and when there were tryouts I relaxed myself and just forgot the idea that I was trying out. All I had in my mind was that I was playing a normal game but I had to give myself a push and do better. While at the tryout, I felt confident and I did give it my best, and I know it. The next day I found out that I made it to the team and I was so happy that I cried of joy. Ever since that day, my life changed because now I know and I feel confident that anything is possible if you try really hard and push yourself forward to achieve your goal.

Use College Search to look up a specific college’s academic requirements to be sure you are on track to attend the college of your choice.

If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources to help you with this process, and with achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for that which you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working hard until you actually do reach your goals.
