this is how i roll

When i first started at Hoops High, you wouldn't guess what I thought it was. I actually thought Hoops High was a program focused completely on playing basketball. I thought it was a program similar to the After School Matters program Sports 37. After talking to a former staff member Jesse Weiler, he informed me that Hoops High was a After School Matters program based around filming sports. I love to be on camera not behind, so when my job at Hoops High was a camera women it was quite different for me. Before I was camera women though I chose to be an announcer. That was the most difficult job at Hoops High, but I thought I could conquer it. After seeing that what I was getting myself into wasn't worth it, I soon chose to be a baseline camera. After doing this for two years, and continuously getting hit with the ball, either in the face or ear, I wanted to just give up. I loved Hoops High, but I couldn't keep getting hurt with the ball and being embarrassed in front of a gym room full of people. I got hit so many times I thought I was the ball. After getting a bunch of new faces on the advanced crew, I thought I would change my place, I decided to become the main camera. Ever since I made that decision I have gotten a lot of good reviews, and even a article in the popular teens magazine True Star. In the future I plan to use this special talent of mines to be a minor in college and maybe a second job on the side of my career.
