Hoops High has had a huge impact on my life as a young African American (female) teenager . It has kept me from the harm of the streets of Chicago, and helped me learn to cooperate with my peers on a more professional level. Lastly, Hoops High has helped me learn to work under a lot of pressure.
This program has a really positive impact upon me. It gives me something to look forward to after school that isn't gang related. It keeps me out of trouble. Instead of being outside getting into fights, drugs, and all of the negative things that the mean streets of Chicago has to offer, I am here at HoopsHIGH learning. I've learned how to do things that will actually benefit me as an adult. National broadcasting is something that I have never thought about doing as an career, but after experiencing this program I would love to pursue my dreams as a reporter.
