I have been playing basketball since I was five years old. I have been a member of various organizations including the Spears YMCA, Proehlific Park, the Greensboro Lady Gaters AAU team, and currently, my school’s women’s basketball team. This year, as a member of the women's varsity team for my school, I participated in the HAECO tournament, which is a basketball tournament at the coliseum in which most Greensboro varsity high school teams participate in. The entire experience was exciting and truly a fun way to end my last basketball season ever. My team and I practiced daily, and even some weekends, for hours perfecting plays and scrimmaging like crazy. Although we lost in the first round, my girls and I played so hard and I definitely enjoyed the experience. It was heartbreaking to suffer so many losses, but we worked hard and it strengthened our team. I had fun going out to eat with my team and watching our boys do well. It was a wonderful end to a last season!
