Top 10 Reasons to Play Basketball
10) You should stay active, and when you are done, watch NBA. Then you might get a few tips.
9) Dad gets you new basketball shoes. It is always fun winning in style with new shoes
8) Have fun while playing. I would hate not having fun while playing, why would you play?
7) Show off your skills to every one. Show them how hard you practiced before this game!
6) Learn how to play the game. Once you know how to play the game you will try to do the best of your ability.
5) Learn how not to have a bad attitude. If you just say this stinks or just be mad the whole time, you're not getting any where. Just be happy and play hard.
4) Pass the ball during a game. If you are the only with the ball and won’t pass you are going to be the worst player ever. Just pass and make it harder for the other team to double you and your teammates.
3) Work as a team. Working as a team is the best way to make the defense run around, it will help you learn more about sharing too.
2) Make new friends. When you won your game and tired maybe one of teammates thought you played so well such as passing, shooting, and dribbling you just might make a new friend.
1) Always do your personal best. It doesn't matter if a guy is 10 times stronger or faster all you have to do is do your personal best. My mom and dad don’t care if my man is stronger. I just have to have more skill. All you have to do is do your personal best.

The Smell of Cookies
Every time I’d go to my grandma’s house, I would smell the sweet smell of cookie dough. That always reeled me in; I loved when she let me taste the dough before it went into the oven to make sure the cookies were perfect. I was quite the chef; I watched as the cookie dough would rise into a cookie. I was asked never to go near the plate of cookies because the silver tray was still hot, and of course, I didn’t listen. I’d burn myself and burst of tears. I would retrieve ice for myself and when the cookies were done being hot I would get the first cookie. The sweet sugary taste would enter my mouth and the mushy chocolate in my mouth made me happy. That’s why I love cookies.
