My spark is sports because it is competitive and it keeps me moving because I don’t like staying still.
It is my spark because I like it, and it is fun to play with your friends. I like it because I enjoy being around with friends.
The first time I knew sports was my spark was when I would go with my sisters, Traci and Amanda, play basketball and watch them on tv. When I was small, I used to wear my sisters’ basketball jerseys around the laundry room and play on a small hoop my mom and dad bought me.
I find time to play sports when I would go outside and play at games at my best friend’s, David’s, house on his hoop and sometimes with my dad. My family has helped me a lot because they always motivate me and help me with skills moves and all sorts of stuff and my friends have helped me a lot because he plays them with me and he likes the same sports I do. I think I have accomplished being good at my spark because I am captain of a lot of them and I try really hard to do my best.
My spark is sports, mainly basketball. I have friends and family help me succeed at them. I used to wear jerseys around the house and play mini-basketball in the laundry room and I play with friends, family and games. I enjoy it because I like to be moving all the time. I first learned what my spark was when I watched them on tv.
