Basketball is a big part of my life. As a child I always use to play a lot of sports and my favorite sport was always basketball. I was never really serious with basketball until I reached high school. In middle school I use to play at this after school program with my friends and I was one of the best ones there. Coming to high school with the confidence that i would still be the best was defiantly a mistake. There were so many people better than me at the tryout. There were people from traveling teams that i have never heard of. This is when i started getting nervous. When I found out i made the team I was so happy yet nervous at the same time because I was never on an official basketball team before. Freshman year was the hardest year for me. Everyday I use to come home in the worst moods. I felt like I was the worst one on the team and I would always get picked on. I would play about a minute in every game because there was 4 seniors and I wasn't one of the experienced freshmans. Finally by the end of the season I made a goal that by my sophomore year I would practice until I get good. Every day in summer I would practice my shot. By the time the basketball season started again and tryouts came i was so nervous. All i wanted to do was prove everyone wrong. Everyone thought i was a horrible basketball player. I went to that tryout with the confidence that i would soon be the best basketball player on the team. The whole try out all my coach could say was "omg you got so much better." I made every shot that day. The next day in school I looked at the team list and my heart was beating so fast. When I saw my name on that list I was so happy. The only goal i wanted to accomplish was to prove everyone wrong. So far I proved my coach and team wrong, next was my friends. Now being on a basketball team is a lot of hard work and commitment. But how can you not do something you love. Basketball helps all my stress and problems go away. When Im in a bad mood, I'll play basketball and it will make me become in a better mood. The only problem about this whole basketball thing was that it brought a lot of stress. Since I had practice every single day I was so tired by the time it was over. I defiantly wasnt in the mood for homework. Not wanting to do homework was a bad sign. My grades started to drop. This is when my mom went physco on me. She always hated basketball because she felt like if i didn't play my grades would be so much better. I use to stay up all night doing homework and get no sleep. And sometimes i would stay up talking to my friends all night  until my alarm for school would go off. I would get no type of sleep at all. Finally when i got my act back together i got my grades up again. I got better in basketball and i would never slack. I made sure I gave 100% at practice and my whole team got so much better in games. My teammates are even closer then friends. There more like family. And next year I know our hard work will defiantly pay off.

Digital Story 2 Narrative

There are so many world issues in the world right now. Human trafficking is a global issue that I believe needs more awareness. Human trafficking is transporting and profiting from human beings who are forced to work for others. This event is equivalent to slavery. Throughout the world over one hundred countries participate in human trafficking. This issue is the fastest rising criminal industry.This industry makes from five to nine million US dollars yearly. Almost 2.5 million people are forced into being exploited, sold, or forced into labor. In some places like in China, a child can be sold for $1000 up to $6000 US. The price of a child, usually depends on the age and gender. You might think parents are crazy by giving there children to traffickers but its only because of the one child policy. If parents have more than one child, they will struggle with major fines and the government will certainly not support the second child. Women in China get easily tricked and sold into forced marriages. Traffickers can lie to a women and say that they will get plenty of job opportunities and then sold unwillingly to a man. There many of groups out there fighting against human trafficking. Will you fight against human trafficking?
