Basketball

Senior year is fast approaching to its conclusion, and it seems that every day after school, my friends and I will play basketball. I don’t how it started, but we just started playing one day and haven’t stopped since. I think we play so much because it’s one of the things we can do where everyone is together. Basketball is all interaction, saying things with words and with body movement. Anticipation becomes important to become better, and the only way to improve that is through repetition. To me, it’s much better then listening to an I-pod or playing on the Nintendo D.S. If push comes to shove, I’d even take it over playing World of Warcraft. It’s true that the world has become more technological, but sometimes, technology takes away from interaction. Driving down by Case Middle School, I see a lot of students on their laptops, minding their own business, and it makes me wonder if the laptops are actually hurting them instead of helping them. Maybe they’d be better served if playing a sport was required of them instead of owning a laptop.
