Memoir 1

It was a sunny Saturday morning in February. I got up way earlier than needed. It was 6 am and i was supposed to leave at 8:15 am. The morning seemed super slow, I could not wait to get to Talahi Elementary. I was about to play my very first basketball game for SCAYBA. I was extremely excited I've been waiting for this day for three weeks now, and the day was finally here! I ran out the door at 8:00 and yelled for my mom to hurry up because I wanted to get there early.




The game started at 9:00. I was SO nervous that I would trip over the basketball and fall on my face, and a million other things running through my head. All I had to remember was this was most people's first game and everything would be fine. But did that work..? Absolutely NOT. The ref blew the whistle and I got this sudden awkward feeling in my stomach. Once the game got going I felt a lot better and the game felt like it was getting easier and before I knew it, it was half time. Half time lasted forever, well it seemed like forever because I was just ready to get back out there and play.




The final buzzer went off. We had lost the game but just by maybe two baskets and some people went home disappointed. Well for me the end of the game was a whole different story. I was pretty much happy because I made it through my first game and it was actually lots of fun. I couldn't have asked for a better game. (:
