Love for Basketball

Today was a better day than the day before yesterday and I have a good feeling that things will turn out great.

This afternoon I got home from school and got ready for a special time that I really love to do: basketball. My mom dropped me off at the Church today because the Youth are doing basketball for fun and it's a part of our stake. My interest for the sport came while I've been playing with the Young Women and it felt so Good to have that feeling inside my entire body, my heart, and my spirit.

I remember as a little girl I would watch my older sisters play basketball outside on the court of our old house when they were teenagers or at basketball games and I started to love the sport because of the movies I would love to watch about basketball such as "Space Jam" or "Double Teamed." And I decided to play basketball because it was my favorite sport ever as it always will be.

In this photo I'm in front of another player that has the number 11 on her shirt at a Church basketball game.

After we finished the series of Church basketball games we later got awards for doing such a GREAT job on doing our best and working hard together as a team. In the photo on the left, you'll see me in the blue shirt wearing an award around my neck. I felt so good getting my award because of the HARD work I've done. We did lose some games though and I did feel bad that we didn't win but I've learned that it was just a game, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose and all it matters is having fun with a positive attitude and doing your best.

Basketball may not be what I want to do for life but it's definitely something I want to do as an activity whether for mutual or anything that can be fun and make me happy and want to do it. It's one of my favorite sports and I will always do it whenever a friend or family member of mine asks me if I wanna shoot some hoops with them. It is a good sport for exercise and maybe I will continue to do it outside when it's not so cold at this time of season.
