There are a couple things I regret about my life. The first is that I didn't continue playing basketball. I played it from 4th grade up until my freshman year at Bellarmine, but just decided that if I wanted to keep my good grades, I had to sacrifice playing the sport that I loved. Although I miss it very much, I still keep my love for basketball alive. I watch almost every Boston Celtics game (they are my favorite team because Ray Allen plays for them!). I will always love basketball even though I didn't continue with it throughout the past couple of years.

Another sport I regret not going further with is volleyball. I really loved volleyball and got excited every time I got to play it. Unlike basketball, there was a lot less running involved, which is something I was extremely thankful for. I wish I would have tried out for volleyball at Bellarmine because I feel that I would have really enjoyed it. My volleyball team in 8th grade won the CYO Volleyball Championship. We won game after game in the playoffs. On our last game, we ended up losing the first game out of three and came back for a victory. We were ecstatic. I just remember hugging every single person I could see with the biggest smile upon my face. That was one of the happiest, greatest feelings I've ever felt.
