Ishmael Deen, Hope

Hope by Ishmael Deen

when i hear the word hope I think about basketball and my mom . When I’m on the court, I’m happy, I feel relieved . All my worries go away, the only thing on my mind is my family, the court, and the ball . Basketball gives me hope . My mom also gives me hope by providing for me, supporting me with school and basketball . There are so many things she does for us, but she’s there when I need her . When I’m in the game with the guys, we have a fun time laughing, telling jokes, and enjoying the game . It’s like I’m in my own world .
