Making a Difference

         I plan on making a difference in a simple way. I am not very skilled in many things, or at least not skilled enough to teach others. But I believe one of the things I am skilled enough to teach is basketball. Saturday morning basketball is a lot of fun to coach and be apart of. I like teaching all the little kids how to go through drills, how to shoot the ball, how to pass, how to dribble, and how to play basketball in general! 

          They look up to us high schoolers so much. The way they look and actually stop and listen to what we have to say gives you a good feeling. Some of the players that help coach don't set very good examples and don't give full effort, and that bothers me. I always give my full attention and full knowledge to the young players, because that's what they are. They are the young players of central noble. They are the future of the basketball program and I love the sport. I love the school, the team, the gym, the lockerroom, the coaches, and all the other players. So if all I have to do is coach these kids the best I can, and shape the future of central noble basketball in the process. Then that is what I am going to do, even if I look dumb or silly sometimes. I want to make those kids better, make the school better, and help the young players have a good time! That is how I plan on making a difference. It won't be a major difference. It won't shape the world by any means. But if it makes a few kids lives' a little better then I have made a difference. And I am happy with the small difference I made.
