Hello everyone! I'm Gloria. I'm in Grade 8.
What makes me unique? My family comes from Greece. I was born there. Nobody else in my school comes from Greece! I am a basketball player on the school team and the only player in my class.
Playing basketball is my interest. When I was in Grade 6, I played for the school basketball team. I was the youngest player. I knew I was not tall or strong enough. I had no
advantages over other players. But I was strict with myself. I practiced shooting 100 more times every day to improve my abilities. Gradually, I became the best shooter on the team.
Once we played against a team from another city. The game was almost over, and the score was fifty-one to fifty-one. A player on my team passed me the ball. I was too far from the basket. Could I get the ball in the net? I tried, and the ball went in! The final score was fifty-four to fifty-one. We won! We felt proud of ourselves.
My dream is to play basketball in the Olympics. I'd like to go to university, too. My parents want me to study medicine, but I want to continue with physical education. What sport would study? Basketball, of course!
