challenging experiences

One of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever overcome was making my school’s basketball team. One reason it was such a challenge is that I’m not very tall. Since I’m average height, I had to hustle more than the taller players. I ran around the court and always tried my hardest. I think that impressed my coach a lot. Another reason it was a challenging experience is that I’d never played on a basketball team before. So I didn’t really know what I was doing. However, I constantly paid attention to the coach and always followed his directions. Several players better than me didn’t do this, so they didn’t make the team. Anyway, only ten boys got chosen for the team, and I was one of them.
