POSITION SHIFT-BASKETBALL
From Ignorance to Appreciation
“Remember this, the choices you make in life, make you.”
– John Wooden
Overview
My first memories of basketball
My introduction to Georgetown’s culture & the GU Midnight Madness experience
Aftermath
NBA Finals 2000
The first game I ever watched the game
I understood absolutely nothing
Little did I know, Kobe Bryant (the player most despised by my entire family) would
become my favorite
Georgetown University
The view from the outside is much different from the one on campus
After experiencing the Georgetown basketball culture, I loved it and changed as a person Midnight Madness led to season tickets
and soon I had come out of my shell
1st game I went to
After a few months of watching games almost daily.. I learned the game & developed a
genuine appreciation for it
I made a lot of newfriends & was “the girl that knows aboutbasketball”
A friend blending into a wall in my
room at Georgetown
Reaction of my family
They were extremely surprised, especially my father
I had to prove that I actually liked the game & wasn’t just interested in the men running around in shorts
Eventually they accepted it & we found something new to bond over & spend time together doing
Now
I fit right in with the basketball crazed fans here at UK!
