The Special Topic

                My special topic is all about the decisions I make in my everyday life and how they affect the rest of my day. One of the major decisions that I recently made was whether or not I wanted to continue with my basketball career through my senior year. This one decision gave me lots of added stress and took me a very long time to figure out which path I wanted to follow. In order for me to make a final decision I had to bring my parents in on the decision. With the amount of time I committed to choosing my path anyone without knowledge of the choice would have thought I was deciding between life and death. After many long days of thought filled, sleepless nights I finally came to the decision that I would play basketball my senior year. What lead me to this result was that I had played basketball for the majority of my 17 years of life and to stop now would be a bad ending to all I had worked for. Also the fact that this could be my final year to play basketball really drove me to finish it out, because I know that when it is all over I will be really emotional about the whole situation. My odds of playing collegiate basketball are very low and the odds would be nonexistent if I didn't play. I don't want the season and my career to end before it absolutely has to. Another decision that caused me great grief was when and how I would write this blog post. I gave it way too much thought and put it off for a very long time. I finally found the initiative to write the paper while I was spending the day at my grandmothers house in Decatur. One major problem caused me to have a large hiccup in the process. My grandmother doesn't have an internet connection, a laptop, or a printer. Makes it really easy to post an assignment on a blog, right? Well after typing it up I had to wait until I returned the next day to post it for Mr. Gee to read and judge. The decision has lead to me procrastinating and turning in a work that on other circumstances I would not be very proud of.
