#3 Any American boy can be a basketball star if he grows up, up, up

Wednesday, Nevethan and Me just asked some of the guys whether they wanted to play basketball with us outside on Thursday. Every Thursday, we get early free from school, and the weather was too good for a Basketball game outside. Usually, I love to play basketball, and had played with Nevethan and some other guys in Denmark for many years. It all began when; I thought soccer was a little bit boring, while I had played since I was 5 years old. At that time I was pretty sure, that I need a change in sports, so therefore I wanted to learn other sports so that I could play a variety of sports. I remember I always after school, learned many drills and tricks and even how to shoot. In this case I have to thank Youtube a lot. I really love Michael Jordan, he was a fantastic basketball player and will always be respected as one of the best basketball player who ever had played. As we started to play Basketball I could feel that I wasn’t in a good condition, and sometimes I could not run so fast because of my ankle. At first I was in team with Mogens, Erik, Kure and we played against Morten, Nevethan and Halling, and by the way we had our own photographer Mr. Oliver. We played to the scored turn 20, after that we took a little break and made new teams up. This time I was in team with Erik and Nevethan and we played against Mogens, Halling, Morten and Kure. It was pretty hard to play for me. I always tried to shoot from the 3-point line, which was very difficult in some ways.

Trying from 3 point line.

Anyway at the moment we played Basketball I was feeling like an American, to play basketball in the country which originally create the sport is something special, and I hope we will play basketball for sometimes while we are here. On the other hand we only have some couple of weeks, the times is really flying from us. So, It is like we have to get to know and experience many things now, before we don’t have the chance. It’s like now or never! I think everything in life is actually like that. I know one Tamil proverb, which my dad usually tells me.

”Make hay while the sun shines.”

 At any rate, every second here in America is just beginning to be more inspirational. I really have achieved a lot by just being here for almost 2 months. This is really something I am so happy about, and even proud of.
