What Does Basketball Mean To Me

My family is the most important thing for me, I would die for them, I would do anything for them to keep them alive, and they would do the same for me. Sometimes I don't show any affection to my relatives, and that is what makes it difficult for them to communicate with me. I try to be affectionate with them, but I get uncomfortable or uneasy. But, aside from that, I still love them, and as said before, I will give my whole existence for any of them. Familia will always be there for you, no matter what, and if they are not, then I do not know what they are. A family is supposed to have your back, supporting you wherever they are and wherever you are, anywhere you go. Even if you think you are a grown independent human, you will forever need them, there will always be a moment where you will be sad and you will want to go back with your mamá or your papá, or even your abuelos, or uncles. And, let me tell you, no matter what you think, the past is in the past the present is the present, they will not care, they will forever love you, and will be happy to see you

My family is from Mexico, a place where there is no prospect, and they have given up their most important wishes for mine. Being a Hispanic doesn’t make me feel inferior, but it makes me diligent. I have observed the way my parents worked throughout their years. The way they managed to survive and pleasure us, my brother and I, with our wants or needs. It is important to love who I am, my heritage and background, because it is not about how much money I have in my wallet but it is about the lesson or motivation I cultivated. The most amazing part about my heritage is knowing how strongly and intensely we believe in ourselves. When we set a belief, it is rare for someone to destroy the significance of it so easily. We have strong morals and that is what makes my background/heritage so important to me. We never give up.

One thing I have a strong passion for in life is sports. My favorite one was volleyball. It taught me a lot about life and myself. My sophomore year I made varsity, but was upset when I sat the bench more than I played. However, I still pushed myself every practice and never gave up hope. This payed off because the next season I was a starter and a team captain. Being a student athlete has been an incremental part of who I have become in the future. I did not realize it at the time, but my participation in sports has affected my life in more ways than I thought. Consequently, sports have had a major influence on the career path I have chosen, and have also been a significant part of bringing my family together.

As part of my heritage and culture I know that I will always have a place to come home to, my mom will always be waiting with open arms for my return, not matter if a have a family of my own. My family is extremely crucial, although most of my family live in Colombia my brother and my mom are essential to who I am. For example, my older brother moved out recently yet we still have Saturday dinners together. Being Hispanic means being a member of a community, as I stated before, the only immediate family I have in the Unites State is my brother and my mom nevertheless my mom’s friends are my “aunts” and my close Hispanic friends are my siblings.

Growing up in a traditional Hispanic household, family means everything to us and we’re constantly surrounded by family members.

Sports are my life and I don’t think I could live without them. I was discouraged for Liam when he struck out in the Little League World Series and his team lost. I can remember that one time we were at a basketball tournament in another town and we were down by 2 with about 5 minutes left to play and I felt the two free throws that I missed was the reason we

As a way of showing my thanks for baseball and all the other blessings in my life. I am throwing a big party for what I am thankful for. My theme is sports and music. I picked this theme because I am really thankful for my sports ability and I love listening to music. We will have different types of game likes try to throw a water balloon, half court shots, and throwing a football at Calvin Johnson A.K.A Megatron. We have a D.J. that takes your requests for music and plays them, we also have a disco ball. Outside there is a pool for people who swim for a sport. We will have sports streamers with Beer for adults and soda and water for kids. We will also have a cake for every sport.

A symbol that represents my beliefs and values is a soccer ball. A soccer ball and the game based around it depicts most, if not all beliefs I have. Something so simple can bring people from across the world together. This ball can single-handedly make people rethink their values toward life itself, which it did to me. Characteristics that I think a soccer ball has that can symbolize me is acceptance towards all, working hard and never giving up, and just simply having fun.

My first symbol I chose was basketball. I chose basketball because basketball is a fun sport that i learn things from and that i love to do. The meaning of basketball to me is like confidence. when i started basketball i was just a normal kid playing a sport but i learned confidence from it not just on the court and not just in sports but i learned confidence in life and still now 8 years later i still make basketball a big factor of my daily life.

The hobby that benefits me is basketball. I have played basketball ever since I was in 1st grade. Basketball is a great sport if people like competition. Basketball is a great sport because it teaches people how to work as a team to win games. Basketball is also a for the people that like to shoot basketball. Basketball has helped me keep my grades up so I can play on game day. Ball is life I play basketball everyday after school to get better at it. Sometimes my mom has to force me to come inside to eat dinner and to get ready for school the next day. I also love playing basketball for the school because you get to play the other schools. Basketball is a great sport to play to stay in shape and it’s great exercise. Basketball is a valued

Being an athlete is a big impact on my life that describes me and also the way I look at life, is being a part of school and club for basketball is a big accomplishment in my life. One of my favorite quotes is by my favorite basketball player which is “If you don't fall how are you going to know what getting up is like “(Stephen Curry). Many people see me as an athlete and that's how I see myself too. And there is more important things that make me love my life.

“Offence wins games, Defense wins championships.” My favorite activity and passion is playing, watching, and reading about basketball. The way basketball is played is between two teams of five players on each team, in which goals are scored by throwing a ball through a netted hoop, which is fixed above each end of the court. Basketball is also a team-based sport, so if you have no teamwork, you have no wins. My favorite team is the Cleveland Cavaliers, and my favorite player is Kyrie Irving who is a point-guard and very good and is also on the Cavaliers. Whenever I am free, I go to the park and play basketball with my friends or just practice at my house. My passion came from by looking at people play the sport and me watching NBA in my childhood.

5 seconds on the clock there no time I have to shoot; I don’t know how I’m gonna do it but I have to. The ball is yet to be inbounded I have to do this the ref hands the ball the player on the baseline, he passed me the ball in the corner I shot *clank*. I missed I closed my eyes for so long but when they opened again I was in my room laying in my bed not in a championship game but I told myself I’d never do that again I never miss that shot. Ben! I hear as I slowly get up out of my bed I look around at all my basketball posters on the wall, I slowly get to my feet and start getting ready for school. When I’m ready for school I go outside and I play basketball whether it be by myself or with my Brother I’ll play basketball. When it’s time to go to school I take my basketball, I sit in class and all I can think is basketball. Basketball is my Life.

Another reason why my family is important to me is because my mother and my aunts are the only family I have.The rest of my family members live in Mexico. It is not easy to go visit them like I was able to when I was in Mexico.
