It has been my lifelong dream to play on the middle school basketball team. I began playing basketball when I was in the second grade. My elder brother taught me to play. He practiced with me every afternoon and always attended my games with my parents.

This year, I started the sixth grade. The middle school wanted to choose new members for the school team. In order to be a member of the team, my brother helped me prepare for it. The tryouts were held last Saturday morning. Twenty-three students from my grade tried out for the team but the school only needed five. I knew I worked as hard as I could and I thought I had done a good job, but I was still nervous on Saturday night and Sunday morning, waiting for the result. On Sunday afternoon, my parents took me to the school and I was so happy when I saw my name on the list.

My parents and my brother are proud of me. I’ll work very hard to stay on the team.

Christopher Reeve was a successful actor, famous for the Superman films. But disaster came in 1995 when he fell from his horse and broke his back. The doctors thought he would die.
