Friendship First, Competition Second.

Every Sound In The Gym Is So Fantastic. The Screams Of The Fans, The Whistle Of The Ref, The Teammates Calling To Each Other, The Sounds Of The Ball Touching The Wooden Floor, The Sneakers Touching The Floor, And The Sounds Of The Fight, The Muscle And The Sweat. Oh, And The Last One-when The Ball Goes Through The Net. Don't Laugh At My Sensitivity And Romanticism - Those Sounds Really Attract Me.

It Will Take Time To Adapt, But I Think I Can Handle It.

First Of All, I'm Not Buff Enough. I Got Pushed Away From The Basket. And Even When I Didn't, I Couldn't Get Anyone To Throw Me A Pass.

Sometimes It Can Feel Like There Are A Billion People On My Shoulders.

I Understand Basketball Is Not My Entire Life. It's Only A Part Of My Life. And There Are A Lot Of Other Things That Interest Me A Great Deal ... Other Goals To Seek, And This Is How I Have Balance In Life.
