Something That I Truly Love Doing

by D, Sacramento

What do I believe is the ideal job for me? I think the ideal job for me would be a basketball player. I would like to be a basketball player because it is something I love to do, and I have been doing it for a very long time. I do it with my friends and a lot of people. I used to play with my family all of the time and I really enjoyed playing (as we were winning). 

I also love a challenge when someone is against me or my team. It is really fun at any time for me, to be honest. It is something that I love to do when I have free time or when I have nothing better to do. My favorite place to throw the ball is from the three-point line outside of the paint. I have noticed that I have only gotten better and better as I continue to play the game by myself, or even against another player. 

Even when I was a kid, as I was growing up, I would watch basketball on the television that my parents had. They would always switch it over to the basketball channel because they knew I loved to watch basketball. My grandma also liked to watch. I think that it would definitely be possible because it has been something I have always loved, and I am pretty good at it.  

To be honest, I have even been told that I should play it for a living by some people and it is something that I truly love doing. I would never be truly working, or at least that’s what my dad told me whenever I was young and always watching it on my family’s television. 

I also believe it would take me very far and give me the life I have always wanted to have. You get lots of money from doing it and a lot of them become famous by being/getting so good at their game. 

Another ideal job for me would be in the Army. I want to serve my country and give back what it gave me. I would still want to be a basketball player, though, because I am good at making baskets.
