Me at 10

What did I care about?

Looking back at my 10 year old self makes me think about when i was at Houghton Valley School. I was in the last year of primary. I remember the things that were important to me were family,playing sports like netball and basketball.I also liked enjoyed movies like Honey and step-up. I also remember watching Thats so Raven and listening to Spice girls. My bestfriend was Ariana. Her mum was the coach for basketball and netball. This is where I learnt how to play to play those sports. I enjoyed getting the goals and winning. I kept practicing and became quite good at basketball.

When I began South Wellington Intermediate School I joined the school basketball team. It was fun. I had to try out for the team. There were four teams. I got into the second team. We won most of our games . We played at the asb arena in kilbernie and one day the coach of the Under 13 girls asked me to tryout for their team. I did. It was tough but I got in . I was really happy about it, but i had to practice alot.There were 12 of us in the team so I made lots of friends . I enjoyed my time in the U13 girls team, because I learned lots of basketball skills like layups, dribbling and shooting.

When I started Wellington High I joined the basketball team. I was in the senior girls team since they only had one team. I became one of the starting five which waas fun. Now we have two basketball teams and i am in the junior girls team. Now I have lots of friends and I still like playing and watching basketball. I now know how to do the scorebench so i know the basketball rules now. So far I am enjoying playing basketball for Wellington High School.
