If you are a part of something you aren't going to get in trouble because you know it will hurt the whole group. Drinking is a very big part of the pressures in High School and around Nebraska. We have our laws and still some people do not follow them. The kids who are part of that team or group are going to be the ones not drinking and getting in trouble. Encourage everyone to be a part of a group so these things can happen and make our world a better place to live.
Basketball is a great way to learn teamwork and leadership.
In basketball you have to be willing to work as a team and not be selfish. You have to learn to share and be willing to take chances, even if they don't always work out the way you want them to. Basketball makes you set goals for yourself, and makes you work hard to reach them. Basketball teaches you to step up and take control of what you are doing, and as a leader help your teammates out. I think that basketball is a great way to learn important lessons that you are going to use throughout your life.
