As many of you know, I recently played soccer at the Y. Now the season has changed to basketball and I think I may have found my calling. Granted, I'm not really very good. But the key to my success is that I ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION!
My parents are shocked. Two classes (practices) in a row I've listened. I've done what my coaches ask. I've actually went up and down the court during drills instead of sitting on the floor, laying on the floor or licking the floor. (For a while they thought the Y was paying me to clean.) If only my Grandma Pierce could see me now....she'd be so proud of my skills.
Maybe it's because I like this sport. Something about bouncing a ball and making noise while I can run around chasing people excites me. I'm not great, but darn it I try.
Mom says I'd make a good future IU basketball player, because they don't know what they're doing either. But darn it they try.
