The first time My Dad took me to a court, I was five years old. I have loved the game ever since. He is such a great teacher of the game and was always there to work with me. Basketball has given me strength, confidence and the ability to be a leader. The work ethic that I learned on the court has also followed me in the classroom. I study hard to achieve good grades so that I may matriculate into an academic institution that will provide learning opportunities that will allow me to succeed in life.
