Right as the opposing team walked in the gym to play me and my basketball team I immediately saw the mean, terrifying face of Tyrone. Tyrone was a shy but sometimes mean person. His team were his only friends but surprisingly they were nice. Tyrone looked as he wanted to hurt me. My team and I which was mostly consumed of scary looking players was even afraid of him. I told my coach, “I will play if the team is too scared of Tyrone.” My coach was glad to hear he had at least one brave player on the team. I felt like a man. That was until I realized what I agreed to. Since all my teammates that I was playing with at the time were as scared as a rabbit being hunted down by a snake, they all voted my to guard Tyrone.

I became very fat, antisocial, and I feared everyone accept for my parents, brothers, teammates, and coach. I saw a commercial for a piece of exercise equipment. I bought it and tested it out after my recovery. This changed my life. I soon after that mustered up the courage to go to a gym. I became super strong and this boosted my self confidence immensely.

    The players were split up and the game began. However, during the game, I noticed that I was not running as hard as I could, nor did I try to evade my defender and get open. The fact of the matter is that I detested the thought of receiving the ball, and I did my level best to seem ineffective to the game. I did not want to be the player at fault who dropped the ball and subsequently ruined the play.

  • Friendship Essay: The Meaning Of True Friendship

    1061 Words  | 5 Pages

    What do you think the meaning of true friendship is, maybe it 's knowing that you trust a certain person with any secret or physical object, somebody who would take a bullet for you, or maybe it 's somebody that you 've grown up with all your life. Everybody has their own definition of ¨true friendship.¨ I personally believe that true friendship is when two people can trust each other with just about anything, they let you succeed and fail on your own, but they always help you when it is most important. I dislike it when people say a true friend doesn 't ¨snitch¨ or lets you copy off their paper for test or more important assignment. This shows that they don 't see the other person as a friend, and more as a ¨get out of jail free¨ card. Some people would argue by saying that it shows the person’s willingness to help, but I believe that the only thing you’re helping them with is failing to prepare for responsibilities.
