Jack's Scrapbook
Preface
I chose basketball because I love playing the sport. I have developed my game at a rapid pace since I began playing the sport in 4th grade. I played on my friend’s team in the YMCA. At the time I was the worst on my team. My coach would rarely put me into the game. Now, I rarely come out of the game. Over the years I have worked very hard, putting in the hours to become a better player. I practice outside of school on an organized team, as well as on my own in the gym. I love both playing and watching the sport.

Postcard
Coach- Thank you for for your time, for encouraging me, and of course also making me a better player over the years. I have come really far in not only skill, but effort and experience as well. You have influenced me to practice hard, as well as work hard off the court. I won't forget how much you have helped me to not only be a better player, but a better person and teammate as well.
Mom and Dad- Thank you for all of the time and money you have spent for me and basketball. I have really improved a lot, and I don't think your time has gone to waste. I really enjoy basketball, and I thank you for letting me continue.
