Basketball has always been an interest of mine ever since I was introduced to it at a young age. However I've been pushed towards focusing on my academics rather that taking the sport professionally because it would help if I had a stable job to fall back on if basketball wouldn't work out for me. Even though I've made it my goal to dedicate multiple summers practcing and getting better at working as a team player, because of my financial situation I haven't had many opportunities to showcase my skill to others, until this year when I managed to make the varsity team because of my defensive abilities, although my scoring could use more worm. It ended up paying off because in my first year my school managed to be the 2nd seed in the PSAL AAA division, only losing a game to Newtown on the road. If given the chance, I would like to dedicate even more time to this sport and be a crucial asset to any team that would need that special talent.
