I started playing basketball at the age of 12 and I always felt like I was a step behind everyone else considering that I have never played before. By the time I was in 6th grade I became more understanding of the game and actually enjoyed it I played all through middle school and realized that I really loved the sport but as time went on I realized it just wasn’t for fun anymore and I had to take it serious. When I got to high school I realized it was now a commitment to get better and play the sport I love so I spent the whole summer training and even lost a lot of weight to commit and be a better player by the summer of 10th grade I joined a travel team which helped me play better over all ,although I was on varsity since freshman year I didn’t play much freshman or sophomore year. When junior year started I came into the season hungry and finally realized I was becoming the player I wanted to be and finished the school season and travel season strong gaining college interest with my goals to play in college and continue my career and love for basketball. I am now in my senior year looking for a school to call home next year .
