When I was younger I played soccer until one day I realized it was pretty bad for it
and it just was not a sport for me. Then I decided to start practicing basketball,
after a while, I realized I had some skill, and if I kept practicing could become quite

good at playing. I went to the practices for the team at the school where I studied,
and I was accepted, I was pretty excited from the beginning, I was three years in
the team and we won some tournaments. Actually I remember fondly those days
were the happiest moments of my life, but since I left school I have not played in
any formal team. Currently I just play with my friends in the evenings, but I hope
someday I can return to being on a team.
