My Breathtaking Journey of Basketball


Do you like basketball? I don’t like it, I LOVE IT! I started shooting when I was five years old, and I’m still playing to this day. I only got interested because my older brothers started playing basketball and since I was the youngest, I did whatever they did. I started shooting for fun and playing against my brothers until I was seven or eight years old and then started playing in a league. When I went into a league, I practiced a lot and got much better over time, but then something terrible happened… the COVID-19 pandemic.

With COVID-19 spreading rapidly all throughout the world, everything was closed, everyone was stuck at home, but that gave me an opportunity to practice all the time! I would go outside for hours and shoot hoops in my driveway. I still have a lot to learn though, and look forward to that. That’s my journey of basketball and I’m going to continue to get better and better!

Wonderful Wisdom Tales Project

 


The picture shown above is a summary of the story Old Dog and Coyote in the book Wisdom Tales. There were different options of how I could represent this story. Some options included comic, stop motion animation, and Google slides. I didn’t want to choose a comic because I don’t prefer it when I’m reading a book. I don’t have any experience with stop motion animation, therefore, I was left with the option of Google slides, which I know how to use.

Old Dog and Coyote is a book about a dog who lived with a chicken farmer. The dogs only job was to protect the chickens, which he failed tremendously. The farmer yelled at the dog and then the dog felt humiliated and ran off into the desert. In the desert the dog saw a coyote and watched as the coyote jumped in a cactus, the dog felt bad and came running too the coyote taking each thorn out his body, one by one. The coyote thanked him and repaid the dog by prowling at the chickens, making it seem like the dog was saving the chickens. The farmer appreciated the dog from that day on.
