My Passion (Dancing & Basketball)

What am I passion about? To have passion about something it has to be something that you love to do and love doing it no matter what! Also, if you're passion about something you have to be dedicated about it. So my passion is basketball, but dancing. When I was little I always love to dance. It was something about dancing that kept me dancing everywhere I go, It built confidence for me, because I was always shy and didn't want to do things that involved meeting people or performing in front of crowds. Nobody wanted me to dance or advised me to dance, I just seen on of my classmate doing it. So I wanted to try. It was very nerve racking seeing everyone dancing with their fancy moves and dance skills. The first time I ever danced when I join a "dance crew." I had to danced my way inside the crew and so did other people was trying to join. It was attention in the air, sweat, flips. All different type of dances, I thought I couldn't make but I still tried. I wasn't giving up! So...I made the dance crew! I was so happy and excited that I started to dance again. I practice everyday, day and day out, when I was sick or when I was just in the house alone. I was dancing in my dreams. One day when had to perform in front of my school, but this wasn't no regular performance...This performance was going to be recorded and uploaded on YouTube. Now we all know YouTube is a billion dollar company that everyone in the world uploads all different kind of videos and hearing that I might be on YouTube was very nervous. That means everything has to be on point! every moment, the sequences, flips, and showing emotions to give the crowd more interested. Their can't be no mistakes! We did good and seeing the video on YouTube was awesome! It was an huge success and that why I still love to danced. Now anything that I'm passion about is Basketball.

Now I never heard, played basketball, or even touched a ball before until the 7th grade and I was convinced and inspired by my good old friend Najee Vargas. Najee convinced me and inspired me to play, because at first I wasn't good at all. No really! I was so horrible that I couldn't make a layup. But seeing Najee play was kind of inspiring. He was so good and he can really play, so everyday I pick up a ball or go to parks to play ball with others. My goal was to "better than Najee in basketball." The first thing that I actually was getting good at basketball was playing defense. I was the only one that would step up to the plate and guard the best player on the opponent's team and I would always do go defensively, but offensively. It took me years to become the person that I am now. But hard works pays off! I made it to my first basketball team, played my first game, scored my first bucket, and finally go up to Najee level. This what I am passion about and I would never give up doing it even when times get rough. I'll always pull myself back up and keep going at it. At the end of the day, nobody got you expect for yourself.
