Sports are a big part of my life. My daily activities basically revolve around the concept of sports. I’ve played basketball since I was in the 7th grade so I take it very seriously. During the spring of my 7th grade year I started playing for a traveling team to improve my skills. During 8th grade I got really good so I was able to make a couple all-star teams and I was able to play on one of the best traveling teams in the state of Illinois. I think that was what catapulted me to improve my skills even more to play for Whitney Young Magnet High School. Once I came here, I realized that these people, by people I mean the coaches, take the game very seriously. I loved the game before, but I knew then that I had to eat and sleep the game to insure that I play at a high level at all times. Anything short of perfection at Whitney Young is considered a failure. Sports have taught me a lot about life as well. One major lesson I am still learning from the game of basketball is how to be punctual. You always have to be on time, weather it for practice or for a game. If you’re on time you’re late and if you’re early you’re on time. Sports play a big role in our society as well. We always feel somewhat of a connection towards our team and if they lose, we feel the pain as well. So I think sports in my life, and other people’s lives, are very important because it creates a bond, companionship, and on a professional level, revenue.
