My name is Angela. I'm fourteen (almost fifteen) and was born and raised in L.A. I play the piano, I swim, and I play basketball.
One movie that is related to an aspect of my life is Hoosiers. In the movie, a poor, small-town Indiana high school basketball team (which doesn't even have enough players) gets a new coach. The coach helps guide the team into multiple victories, shocking the townspeople who had low expectations for the team.Their team beat the odds and won state finals.
This movie relates to my experience as a part of the JV girls' basketball team this past year. In the beginning, I wasn't even planning on playing basketball this year. I'd played for the past four years on my old school's team and didn't want to commit to the time and effort that this would take up. My friends, who played with me last year, told me there weren't enough players on the JV team this year. We decided to try another year of basketball. We started off as a small team with only six players; we also had a new coach who was pushy and ambitious about our team's victory. We began to recruit some friends of ours onto the team. After (literally) putting our blood, sweat, and tears into practices and games, our team surprised many who didn't think our season would be as successful as it was. We ended the season winning 10 of 14 games.
