“I have been playing basketball for 11 years, since I was 5. Through the years I’ve become more serious with my commitment to basketball which came with quitting my other sports and focusing on my advancement in basketball. Being a high level athlete has taught me many things. It’s taught me How to own up to my mistakes,How to work hard for what I want, How to work well with others, how to accept failure, and it’s taught me that your status is earned and not just given to you.” – sophomore Sophia Hense
