Soccer and Ping Pong

Since as long as I can remember, I was never that good at sports. Football never really fit me and I never really practiced it. I played basketball for three years, but then I sort of got tired of it; don't really know why. Baseball was just not my sport and I'm leaving it at that. And I've never tried tenis, lacrosse, or many other sports. I do play these sports if I'm at a park or with friends but never on a team.

However, soccer has been with me most of my life and I consider myself good at it. I'm starting to practice a lot more now, too. In soccer I just find my strive and I push myself to limits I never pushed myself to before. And it's just straight up fun. Around 6th grade though, I felt like I needed to practice a new sport along with soccer. That's when I got into Ping Pong and I became attached to it immediately. Soon I got a Ping Pong table, Ping Pong balls and paddles, and I was ready to go. I discovered that I was acceptionally good at it. One thing I love about it is that it helps you have faster reflexes, so that's a good outcome! 

I am very happy when I play these sports and I realize that I'm not bad at every sport right?  

What is Life?

Life has many different meanings. It could mean nothing to one person and it could mean the world to another. In scientific views, life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not. In my personal views, life is knowing and understanding your surroundings and the people in it, a choice to make the world a better place, and a gift that should not be wasted.
This gift is expressed uniquely between people. Some ways I express it is through:
Soccer, Ping Pong, Music, Parkour, and more...
