The new sport

Basketball is the new sport I am trying at the school now. It is a lot of fun, probably because there are only eleven kids on the team, so I should have a good bit of fun. It also helps that the kids on the team were already my friends before I joined. My shot is a bit lacking, seeing as I have never actually played organized basketball, aside from IM at State High. With that said, the Japanese can`t jump very high, so even though I am a head shorter than the taller kids on the team, I can still rebound over all of them, and pull a jumper over them. To say that they get frustrated with that is an understatement. All the teachers are pushing me to try all the sports. Next on the list is tennis, but hopefully they don`t oust me from basketball for a while, because it is good fun.
