My High School Goals And Basketball Goals For Basketball

The most important long range goal I have ever had was to graduate high school. This has been one of my goal's throughout my career as a student. It has been my main goal because I will be the only child of my mother's to graduate from high school. My mother has always pushed me to my best and has always told me to reach for the stars with this goal, because she did not want me to get a GED like she did. My education goals consist of learning something new every day. Throughout my educational career as a student there were major and minor bumps in the road, yet my goal of being able to receive a high school diploma kept me thriving to accomplish it. Now as the last few months of school wind down closer and closer to graduation my heart grows

I was warming up at Yale University for the start of the state finals when I realized that I wanted to play basketball at the next level. Since I was a little kid I have always been a big fan of basketball and was hooked ever since the 2012 Women’s NCAA basketball tournament. Although I have tried many different activities over the years my real passion always comes back to basketball. Not only has it brought fun into my life, it has helped me grow into the adult I am today. Given the proper opportunity, I would like to continue growing and contribute my skills to a college team who may need me and who I can contribute the most to.

As an individual I love staying active, socializing with others, being dependable, and keeping busy. Playing Basketball for Flour Bluff ISD, since the seventh grade, has granted me the opportunity to achieve all of these goals. For some peculiar reason I have consistently felt that I lacked experience of which my peers had, and that I would never be able to acquire it. Soon after I started playing I became intimidated of my fellow teammates and worried about the time I felt I lost, due to beginning so late in my childhood. Without fail, I always feel a sense of accomplishment after making it through tryouts every year and as I approach my final season, it has become clear just how much of my life was devoted to Basketball, that I truly love it and how I am thankful to be a part of something much more than just a team.

Being on a basketball team has become a custom to me. I have participated since I first began school at the age of five. Even though my younger years of playing were fun, it was not until I made the varsity basketball team that I got to experience the best adventures of my life. My freshman year was mostly my learning year. I had to transition to a faster pace game, and I had to learn all new offensive

I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

From an early age, I’ve always played sports. I played soccer, basketball, baseball, football, lacrosse, and golf. I played all of these sports with friends, or on a travel program. I enjoy being outside, being on a team, and being competitive in sports. I am a very athletic person. When some people think of me, their first thought is, “He 's a great athlete. He must be good at every sport”. However, this wasn 't true for me when it came to middle school basketball.

For right now, the most important thing for me to do is finish up high school with good grades. By doing this it will look good on my college resume and I might get accepted into a really good college. Plus, good grades should be important to everyone. You should be trying your hardest in class, good grades is something to be proud of. This goal for me might be the hardest of the three. I will have to do many different things just to be able to say that I have accomplished this goal that is set towards my future. With hard work I know that I will be able to do it.

If you are good enough when you are in 2nd grade to 6th grade you can be asked to play on a travel basketball team. This is where you parents pay a lot of money to have you travel around and play with the best of the best. This is a really good time, because you sometimes play on college courts which just make you dream of one day playing college basketball and then maybe going into the NBA. I played on travel basketball, but then the next year I did not make the team. I was a good basketball player, but I was not aggressive enough. I continued to play rec ball even though I was very upset that I did not make the team again.

The factors that have made me great in basketball would be my extensive workouts, all of the practice that I have put into basketball, and definitely my dedication towards the game. I've been playing basketball for as long as I can remember, and I've had the same love for it since I started playing. I've had a lot of influences in my life for basketball, but the person that showed me the game is my brother. He was the one that taught me how to play and would play with me all the time. He actually taught me how to play a lot of sports and got me interested in watching and playing basketball and football. I always try to impress him, so I think that's also a part of why I've pushed myself to be good, so that he could be impressed by me.

Basketball has been a big part of my life which started when I was twelve and wanted to go to the NBA. The problem being, I did not put in the work to do anything to get better. The only thing I did do go to the park about once or twice a month and play. I thought video games would help me because I thought would increase my IQ in basketball... sounds stupid to me now. Anyways, I did not make the team, simply owing to the fact I did not practice.

Being on a team has made me more of a leader. In practice, I call out plays and help tell people where to go when they need it. I also take charge of trying to cheer up the team if we are losing. Doing this has helped me be more of a leader. I take control when it is needed in school, and in other activities. But being in basketball, on my team, has made me a great leader.

For all my childhood and into adolescence, I have always had the desire and dream to play basketball at the collegiate level. I come from a family of athletes that have played sport at a high level in Australia. My Mum played basketball at a BIG V and SEABL level. My Dad played cricket and football at senior levels. My goal is to play basketball at the collegiate level, therefore, the effort on the court and off is what I am doing to reach it.

In my free time, I enjoy a plethora of activities but I have come to the conclusion that basketball is my all time favorite pastime. Watching the sport on television is just as enjoyable as playing it. Strangely, basketball has always seemed to permeate my life in one way or another. Sometimes, I feel like I was born to dream, live, and even sleep thinking about basketball. Basketball is such an amazing sport and I can not fathom living in a world in which the sport did not exist. Nonetheless, basketball has impacted my life in such a phenomenally positive way and definitely has molded me into the individual that I am glad to be.

After high school I am planning to attend Mount Hood Community College to get my generals done. I want to work during the time and make money and save a little with staying local. After my first 2 years of college I will probably look into going for business and management. My goal during the time and during my senior year is to join the cadet program for the Gresham Police. I´ll want to join the police program after my college time. My end goal is to become a K9 officer because I love working with Dogs and would love to still protect people and keep my city or town safe.

I came to the important realization that I have a love for basketball. Why this is important is because if I focus really hard, practice, and put in all the work, I can make it far in basketball. I play in an AAU league called friars club with some other kids from Ross. In the league, there are scouts that come to watch the games and see how good you are. We stayed after our game to watch the older kids play and the channel 5 news came and we made it on tv! How the league works is, we went to the Friars Gym in downtown Cincinnati to try out for two nights back in August, then the second night they
