Basketball:
My favorite thing to do is play sports.
I like all types of sports because they keep me busy, but the sport I like
the most is basketball. When I have lots going on in my head, I play basketball
to relieve all the stress. That is the only sport that I can play
that will clear my mind.
Friendships:
Another thing that keeps me busy is my friends.
We usually go out and spend time with each other doing different things
like going out to watch a movie, out to eat, bowling, playing some kind
of sport, or strolling in the mall. Spending time with my friends is one
of my favorite things to do.
Writing:
If I'm not out with my friends or playing
basketball, I write in my journal about personal things. I either
write how things are going in my life, or I write about particular people.
It's a good way for me to write down my feelings, instead of keeping it
all inside me.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic novel from Harper Lee about a black
man, Tom Robinson, who is charged for the rape of a white girl, Mayella
Ewell. It's a sad novel about how people can be prejudice and unfair
in life. It tells how an innocent man is convicted of a crime he
didn't do because of prejudice. This is a touching novel that I recommend
you to read.

How can anyone ever be bored in this
century with the variety of entertainment available? I'm never bored
with the favorite television shows and movies that are out. Of course,
what I watch depends on what kind of mood I'm in.
When I'm down and just need to laugh, I was Friends, a hilarious show about
the lives of six close friends. Whenever I feel like I want a show
where I can learn something about my life as a teen, I turn on Dawson's
Creek. Its episodes tell the stories of close friends who are in
relationships. It shows how they deal with their ups and downs in
life. When I'm in a cheerful mood, I just turn to the sports channel
and watch whatever is on at the time. Of course, there are times
when my favorite shows aren't on. In that case, I put on my all time
favorite movie, Love and Basketball. It is about two people who share
the same interests- love for basketball and love for each other.
It shows how they struggle in life when they have to choose between the
game and each other.
