    Everybody has different hobbies that they like to do for fun or just to relax. There are many kinds of activities like volleyball, basketball, swimming, or baseball. It all depends on each personality. For me, basketball is part of my life and it means a lot to me.

    Since was a little girl, I started to play basketball in the school team and also with my friends in the neighbor-hood. My mother told me that I liked kicking the ball around and had so much fun with it when I was only about two years old. Since then, playing basketball is my favourite sport. It is my hobby whenever I have free time.

    Playing basketball also helps me to relax and be confident. I often play basketball with my classmates in the playground. After doing my homework or when I come home from school, I play basketball with my friends out- side of my house or we go to the park to play it.

    Whenever I play basketball, I feel healthier and stronger. Besides, meet new friends from the neighbourhood. I not only like playing basketball, but also like watching basketball games on television
