The person who I am today is because of my parents and other people. they have had made mistakes that I've learned from and won't make. I became interested in basketball when I was five. I became interested in the sport because my father played basketball growing up and messed up his career in high school due to drugs. I've learned that I am a very competitive person when it comes to basketball and willing to do anything to win the game. I've also learned that I'm good at sportsmanship. I hope in high school and college I want to become very successful in academics. id say that my unique skills or characteristics that I have are honesty, working with others such as teamwork, leadership, and willingness to learn.
