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!
