Back then when I was little I had all different types of chains, it was at the age 11 when my cousin noticed I play ball. Now I wasn't that good but as I got older I got better. It was my 12th birthday when my cousin took me to his mansion and explain how much basketball meant to him. Then he gave me that chain and told me to never give up on basketball, because it can take you to amazing places in life. You just have to have heart and hard work. Basketball's life lessons have taught me a lot about people and teamwork. It's made me a better student, a better person and a better worker. I've met cool people I never would otherwise have met. To many people, basketball is a simple game. You pass, dribble, shoot. To me though, it has taught me important life lessons that will play a big part of my life. As I keep playing I will learn more about life. I know that I will always love this sport and it will always be a big part of my life, even if I don’t turn out to be a pro.,
