(JabberWrites Winner) Basketball

By: David Le, ’26

Basketball and going to the gym are two of my all-time favorite hobbies. Basketball is one of my favorite hobbies since it’s really fun, relieves stress, and reminds me of the past summer. I love playing the sport so much because it makes me feel relaxed and reminds me of fun occasions I’ve experienced with my friends. I love basketball so much because it makes me think of the daily games my friends and I played throughout the summer. It’s the best sport in the world, and you’ll love it once you start playing. At first it might appear difficult, but once you understand, it will become simpler. I love playing the sport and I enjoy it, but I don’t take it seriously; it’s just a fun hobby for me. Imagine running full court games or competing against someone while having fun. You don’t even need to win or score; you’re just there to have fun and meet new people, all while playing your favorite sport.

I truly enjoy playing basketball, but the amount of running around the court makes it exhausting. When I work out at the gym, I feel more at peace than ever. Playing basketball can help me relax, but going to the gym and lifting weights helps me relax even more since it feels so amazing. Knowing everyone at the gym is not necessary; you wouldn’t even care what the people around you say about you because the gym is such a calm and peaceful environment. It doesn’t even matter because you don’t know them and you’re there only to work out. Imagine yourself doing nothing but what you love in one of your favorite places in the world, free from interruptions or distractions.
