Needless to say, everyone in their right mind has a dream they want to achieve. Whether its being a fireman, or being the owner of a prestigious worldwide corporation, those dreams exist in everyone. Personally, my dream is to build a gym, rather, a basketball court located indoors with all the works so that I can teach adolescent young men and women the fundamentals of basketball and of course sportsmanship. I love basketball with everything I have. (Its third on my list behind my Faith and my loved ones) Growing up, I never had anyone teach me how to play. My dad was not a big part pf my life and even when I was in middle school and early years of high school I never got to play for the school. It wasn't until i moved away from my dad that I got the chance to play on a team. My sophomore year I played in my first game. I was on JV and played for maybe 5 minutes against the worst team in our district. Although my PT was limited I put up 9 points, and had a handful of rebounds. That's more than a point per minute for anyone who sucks at math, Ever since then I have kept pushing myself to play better. I hit a slump here recently but I'm back at it again, harder than ever. I know just about ever aspect of the game from an officiating standpoint, all the way to every NBA stat known to man. Helping young men and women in a sport they love at an early age would be my dream come true. Not only would they learn the value of sportsmanship, but they would be well on their way of achieving their full potential early on. Therefore being a force to be reckoned with in high school, and hopefully and eventually, in college possibly. Who knows, maybe I'll help some youngsters get into the NBA one day. (Most of that is natural talent and raw athleticism.)
Bottom line is, I hope this dream will be achievable one day. Its out there, but just maybe it will happen.
