On a weekend, I tried out for a basketball camp that would help me develop my skills, with the best players in metro Vancouver. There were probably 60-70 girls there, all ranging from Gr.7-10. After waiting a couple of days, they finally posted the results. I got in! I was so happy and excited, until I realized that I would be playing too much basketball. At first I was supposed to play in two teams. The year ahead of me and my age group. That was supposed to be my plan if I didn’t get into the camp (cp-zone). Both teams were probably going to practice 2-3 times a week plus a game. Cp-zone was going to practice every weekend until the 2nd week of Nov. I knew for sure that I was going to go to the camp, but I didn’t know which team to play in. I played with the year ahead of me last year and it was so fun, but this year, there season only lasted until mid Nov. My age group seemed okay, but I didn’t know that much of them, but there season lasts until late Mar. I felt so confused, I just didn’t know what to do. In the end my parents convinced me that playing with my age group would be better, because I would have a leadership role. In the other team I was the youngest one there, so it would be very difficult for me to take a good leadership role. So far I don’t regret my decision, because my team is really fun and good. I also get to see the year ahead of me once and awhile, so that’s good. That’s when I had a little bit of anxiety and made a difficult decision.
