Sometimes When It Doesn't Fit You Have To Let It Go!

This is starting to become a very stressful school year at Wartburg College. The work is hard and it seems to be taking up a lot of my time; and on top of that ,I have to let go a very special event in my life, which is basketball. See, I've been playing basketball since I was in 4th grade. I've played during my school years and as well as the summer. I can't even remember a time; I haven't spent my time running up and down a court. I love basketball and everything about it. I love the struggle of playing against some of the most athletic girl's. I love the fact that it takes teamwork and dedication to win the game. I love the enthustism; that comes along with the sport. Basketball means a lot to me. I've been living in some of the worst environments, and basketball has kept me out of a lot of trouble. But I was so dedicated to playing basketball, that I wouldn't allow anything nor anyone try to influence me into doing something that could've prevented me from playing the sport that I love, basketball. This year, I 've decided that for the first time, since 4th grade, I'm not going to be playing ball because it's not fitting in with my responsiblities. My school work and paying off my school fees are my most important goals, at this moment. I don't like it, but it's something I'm definitely going to have to make sacrifices for. I guess basketball will be on hold til I feel I can manage my time for it, my school work and working. Reality is really starting to hit me now!
