“What makes you happy?”

Things that make me happy is basketball, collecting shoes, hanging out with my friends. These things are hobbies that make me happy but the thing that makes me happy the the most is my family. My family makes me happy because no matter what I will always glad to be with them. Even if we fight a lot we will always have a good time with each other because we know that we still love each other. My family will always make me happy because just being with them will make me happy and I can appreciate them because in the future we might not see each other. Also why my family makes me happy because they will always support you and be proud of me no matter if I had the worst basketball game ever they will still be cheering and supporting me.

Basketball makes me happy because I will always have a good time playing, weather it is with friends, club, or school I am always joyful playing basketball. I got introduced to basketball really late because I played football and soccer but when I first touched the basketball I fell in love with the game and I knew that I wanted to play basketball instead of the other sports I played. The first game I had I remember we lost and I cried and my dad tells me that it is ok, you have another game later and lost that one and cried. I knew that I wanted to play basketball because even though it is just a game, I will always take every lost to heart. The most important reason why basketball makes me happy is because my dad played basketball so he is my coach and I want to go to a college and play basketball because my dad couldn’t play in college because he got hurt so I want to get better at basketball to play for a college so I can make my dad happy and it will make me happy because I will know that I worked hard to atleast get to play basketball weather it is D1 or D2 because I can make my family proud by getting this far and living my dad's dream though my accomplishment.

Also what makes me happy is collecting shoes because when i get older I want to have a huge collection of sneakers like DJ Khaled or Perfect Pair. Collecting shoes was just something that I fell in love with because every shoes that I collected and wore on the basketball court or not on the basketball court I wanted to look swaggy with my shoes and make people want to just look at my shoes and make want them. I have a small amount of a collection right now but I want to get more shoes and even the shoes that are very exclusive and very expensive because shoes in these days are hyped like Jordan's, Yeezy, and other shoes, and I am like a hype beast because I just want the shoes that everyone wants.  

Another thing that makes me happy is hanging out with my friends. Hanging out with my friends makes me happy because I will always have a good time with them no matter what we do because we all something in common and we do things what all of us like to do. Most of my friends that I have all play sports so we so most of the things that we do are related to sports even if it is video games or playing outside.
