Basketball

A subject that I really like is basketball. Although I haven’t played it a lot and I’m not very good at it, I still really like it. I like basketball because it’s a fun way to exercise and I get to play it every day with my brothers. I also like it because I’m tall so it’s a good sport for me. Another reason that I like it is because if I join the team at my school it can help me get a scholarship.
