Sheora Hart (Sideline Reporter)

Hi I am Sheora Hart a senior at North Lawndale College Prep. This is my first year working with HoopsHIGH and it has made such a difference in my life. Before working here my mind was set on a totally different field when I reach college. This experience has broadened my horizons when it comes down to choices I make and where I see myself in the future. I had my mind set on being a Business major but I was not sure which field of business I would major in. I loved cooking so I figured why not major in that? However, cooking would only get a person so far, and I wanted more. When I began working here I was not sure what I was stepping into, I just realy wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something I would not normally go for. I had never seen myself working a camera, editng games, announcing, sideline reporting producing, or even sideline reporting, but here I am.
After joining this crew it changed what I thought I enjoyed doing for a long time. I found talents within myself that I never knew were there to begin with. That made me realize that I have more talents than I let myself believe I have and can do more than I allow my mind and eyes to see. Working here not only made me realize what I had talent wise, but it was also a drive to help me do more and better in school. Whenever I got an award or did a good paper I would come to work and get e-mails congratulating me on doing such a great job at school as well as work. Getting payed is a good thing but there are so many other great things that come with working with HoopsHIGH. Getting noticed for the good things you do and hard work you do makes a person want to work even harder.
Working with HoopsHIGH has been such a great opportunity for me. I meet lots of new important people. It allowed me to make friends with people I never would have hung out with. They are truly understanding and helpful, and whenever i was going through things they never judged. They make sure where ever you are that you are comfortable and you do not feel like you are in any danger. They are very trust worthy and after working with the same people for so long you begin to get used to those faces and it makes you feel like you are a family. HoopsHIGH is much more than a job or something you can just put on a resume and say you did something. HoopsHIGH is a family and an oppotunity to not only do better, but better yourself as a person. So as you can see my expierence working with HoopsHIGH has been a great one and I hope to have the same expirence with any future jobs I receive.
