Personal Narrative: My Love Of Basketball

Immortality means many things to people. To some it could mean that you get to live forever physically or mentally.Immortality could also mean that your cells can live forever like Henrietta Lacks. Immortality could also mean that your spirit gets to live on like in Heaven. But l think that it is safe to say that whether it is your body, mind, spirit, or cells you get to live forever. I want to be remembered for my love of basketball, my love of reading, and my determination.
Basketball on is one of the most played and watched sports in the world, in fact basketball is third out of the top ten sports that America watches.I don’t actually know why basketball is my favorite sport but I love it, even though I really play that well. One of the

things that I like about basketball is that you actually have to play as a team. If you don’t then you can’t get anything done. One time I was playing basketball, with my sister and my brother, and I tried to play against all both of them. Of course I lost but I still got pretty close to winning. The score at the end was 15 to 18 they won. I have a basketball poppe time capsule to represent my love for basketball. I wanted to be remembered for my love of basketball because I love to watch and play basketball.
Books are very powerful things, they can take you anywhere. I love reading books, they are very good especially if you are bored. I used to hate reading books but in 6th grade I had to read a book for english and I loved the book but, I can’t remember the title. Ever since then I have loved books. I also can read books very fast, like the book Eragon, I read that in just 2 or 3 days. One of my favorite books is Eragon that is why I have that book in my time capsule. I want to be remember for my love of books because like the important things in books I don't want to be forgotten.
Determination is a good thing to have. Determination,by my definition, is not giving up no matter how hard things get. I have a lot of determination and it helps me push through the negative things in life. Being as determination is tied to resilience I have good resilience. It allows me to bounce back from the things that are bad. One of my favorite quotes about determination is by Bethany Hamilton and it says “Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of.”I have all of these things listed in the quote. I want to be remembered for my determination because determination is what it takes to succeed in the real world. I put a metal with an A honor roll on it because it took my d on track determination to stay on track and get straight A’s the whole year.
In conclusion, the word is going the mean something different to everyone that you meet. To me immortality is me being remembered for my love of basketball, my love for reading, and my determination.
