Sports has been my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in elementary, playing soccer during recess was the reason I was always excited about going to school. We would all go out and play with the same teams throughout the year. These people became my family as we would always be together as friends off the field and enemies on it.

Soon I went on to junior high, drifting away from my childhood friends. I met new people at my school by playing soccer with them. Every day we would have free time in PE to do whatever we'd like and we would gather around and play indoor soccer. Soon that began to change as the new semester began and I found my favorite sport and hobby, basketball.

Beginning from the 8th grade, I have fallen in love for basketball. I stopped playing soccer and moved on to playing basketball every day. This was also the point where I actually began to enjoy watching sports as well ever since I first saw my favorite player, Lebron James play.

Anyways, from here on out, I've been in love with sports and just being outdoors. Sports have made me an active person and has improved my social skills. If there is anything that is stressing me out, I can just turn to sports (usually basketball) to get my mind off of things and bring out the positive in me once again. This makes me a better student as well because it refreshes my mind which allows me to focus on work and get my assignments done.
