Chapter 1 - Basketball

  Since our department's basketball team is going to attend the competition tomorrow, as a member of the team, I want to share my feeling after staying in the team for a semester. Basically, it's hard to be a starter for a freshman in most of departments' basketball: however, not only I but also one of my freshman classmate became starters at the big games soon after we joining the team. Some of my friends are envy because I have the chance to be a starter as a freshman, but it's also shows the serious problem of our team, lack  of member.

  Although being a starter is honor to me, the lack of the member has caused many problems to our team. If a team wants to be stronger and stronger, has enough members is one of the key points. There are must some excellent members and usually they are starters in a team, but no one can play with full energy during the whole game, including them. The substitution players, just like the starters, plays another key point because the team can't rely on just a few people, so they are important backup to the team.

  I am willing to accept many failures if they can make me become a stronger person so that I can help the team to get close to success. Our team have be defeated many times, and sometimes are landslides; however, this is also the team that taught me a lot of things, not only basketball knowledge but also the sense of teamwork. In the end, no matter what the result is in this time's competition, all I hope is to learn more and can try the best to help the team.
