The leaves flown by and drop in a summer morning. Hearing the ball bounce and swish in and out from the net. I repeatedly shot one by one trying to make it into the basket. Sometimes it reminds the first season of basketball when I stared at the basketball and hear the trees rustling as it was a crowd of people cheering for their own team. However, I wasn't the best in playing basketball in the first day when I practiced with the team.
My team were more experienced and was a expert at playing basketball, since they can shoot and dribble very well.
I replied to myself, “Man, I can’t play like them and if I play with them as a team, they will think me as a worthless or useless player.” My coach were very strict on positions on defense and …show more content…

My confidence was struck down by lightning and my eyes were leaving rains of tears. Then, I went home carrying the emotional pain. A day later, my older brother came by and asked me, “Do you want to play basketball at the …show more content…
And then at last, we went through to the finals of the season. I came in excited and was prepared like I was ready to take a benchmark.

second conversation ending in disappointment. I was too determined to let those words wiggle out of my mouth. No question about it, basketball is my passion and has been for 9 years now. Stepping out onto the freshly waxed, light brown wooden court erases each little thing from my mind. I enter a second world, with the only worry being the game.
