From Failure to Success

by Anonymous

I remember visualizing myself playing in a Varsity basketball game for many years since 7th grade. I could of heard the sound of the crowd in my mind, and what it would mean just to make one basket.

It played in my mind throughout my four years in high school. I had gotten cut one too many times and I had this belief that my day would come. I would work hard everyday on my game, and visualize the end result. It wasn't till my senior year of high school that i finally gotten the chance to be part of the Varsity Basketball team.

I wouldn't get much minutes because being a senior i was already late to the program. So it wasn't until the last game of the season of Senior night that i started. Right from beginning i knew this moment was in my mind all along.

I made the first shot of the game and it was a three pointer. The crowd cheered and it felt like an out of body experience. I had played this vision in my mind for so long and i had so much repetition, that it felt surreal.

My name was in the paper in the boxscore also. By the way, everything that happened was exactly how i imagined it would be.
