Special Place Final Draft

                  Pounding the basketball down a concrete court where i can be myself. The basketball court as always been a 2nd home for me since I was little because I always get my stressed out. I remember the day that I got stressed that I couldn't keep myself down until my dad brought me to the basketball court and he told me a story when he was younger and he used to come to basketball court. After he told me his story he left me alone for 5 mins and after that 5 mins I was so calm.


            The basketball court is a special place to me because I can get all my stress out and I can always be myself. It will always be a special place because my dad and I share a bon going to the basketball court was we stressed. The basketball court is like a 2nd home to me because I go there mostly day when ever I'm stressed or just want to get better.


          Whether it be raining, 100 degrees, night, or morning i would go visit my 2nd home because it is where i keep my stress out. I will always love the basketball court since it was i got calm ever since i was little. Now its just a 2nd home for me since I'm getting older and older.

It has always been a home since i grew up and it will never leave me as it being my special place. The basketball court will always be my home to me and it is very important to me.

Picture in Paragraphs

New Years

We arrive at the beach during the morning sun rise. Jumping out of the car racing towards the shiny water. The beach packed with people, making it difficult to find a spot to set place. With siblings and parents having a good time. The sounds of other families conversing and laughing with each other start to become louder as more people start to come. The smell of steak and ribs cooking on the grill fills the air as we wait to eat it. The day starts off great but gets boring as hours pass by. The sound of the youngest sibling whines wanting to go home. 

As the sun goes down, playing with the family by the shore. The water begins to decrease in temperature, and the kids are shivering from the cold water. Parents calling their children to settle down and sit along with their close relatives. Patiently waiting for the clock to strike twelve with people counting down the amount of time left. When the clock strikes twelve everyone yells "Happy New Year!" to each other as they're hugging people around them. Fireworks shooting up to the sky exploding with a big BOOM with a colorful pop. Few more fireworks continue to explode in the air as everyone enjoys each other.

Special Place Draft

      Becoming a NBA basketball was always a goal for me since I was 3 years old. Growing up with 2 parents, 2 sisters, and 1 brother it was a sport family, everyone was playing a sport including me. My two sister playing soccer or volleyball, my brother and I playing basketball and my mom and dad being our cheerleaders and coaches.

      I first got introduced to basketball when i was watching t.v with my dad and brother. We saw a dominate basketball player playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers wearing number 23, as I was justing watching him dunk and carrying his team to a win. Then I ask my dad who was that good player and he replied yelling "LeBron James" and i said i want to be like him and he said "be yourself not like someone else".

     As i was getting older my dad used to take me to the basketball court every weekend to help me improve my skills and i would feel like the basketball court is my home cause i would always go there to be myself and work on my basketball skills. The basketball court i can always be myself because everyone is different.

      Basketball court is a special place for me it is what i love and what is my favorite thing to do to keep me calm with stress. It is a special place because i can be myself and no one can judge me. It has always been a 2nd home since i was little and one day maybe kids will see me play on t.v and they would want to get better at basketball.

Special Place

When I open that door i was at Oracle Arena, Home of the Golden State Warriors. I choose this place because it is a basketball court and when ever i am at a basketball court it keeps me calm. I can get all my stress out because when i am on the basketball court i only concentrate  on basketball. I choose Oracle Arena because it is where i watch my role model Stephen Curry play and it is a NBA Arena . It is a special place because when i see that i am at Oracle Arena it means that i want to train hard and be great so I can be in the NBA. Also it is a special place to me because i grew up playing basketball and i love the game. Believe That!.
