the art of trying something new.

On the last few weeks of 2009, I have discovered something that I find quite enjoyable and heartwarming. Something that I thought would never be for someone who's the nice and sometimes reserved type of a girl like me. Something that makes me feel happy and satisfied. What I'm talking all about is Basketball.
I may be the studious, diligent, and shy girl you think I am. But believe me, I'm far than that. I seldom study because studying freaks me out but I read and listen that's why I have somehow maintained my grades. When I entered the Juniors Girls' Team in Basketballs, I realized it is something that I should work on. I was also amazed on how the basketball star players make their moves and shoot when I served as the scorekeeper in the games.
It made me feel like I wanted to be like them. I wanted to be able to move like them and glide in the basketball court. I wanted to be able to express myself in a whole other way. Since then, I've been practicing and playing with my teammates. And it sure was fun. Every move, every step, every shoot, every rebound were all coming from my heart. It is because I do things that I love with my whole heart in it. I was able to avoid being reticent and reserved as what I thought I was supposed to be.
It helped me in proving to others that I can do other things that aren't supposed for me to do. It proved that trying something new maybe risky and dangerous that you'd turned out to be regretting in the end. But you should risk and climb mountains, you'll never know a beautiful meadow is behind those mountains. You'll know along the way that it isn't for you and you can always climb another mountain.
Never be afraid for trying something new is always something worthwhile to do. That's the art of trying something new.
