My space – basketball court at GSU
It’s been a long tiring day of school, and I feel as if I am about to pass out. However, I am going to go to my favorite place in the world. The space is occupied by nearly a hundred basketball players waiting or already playing on the courts. A sweaty aroma surrounds the air, but I am used to it. There are four basketball courts and eight goals, so that everyone gets to play. The gym is enormous and can probably fit a football field in it. I scan the area and see that some people that are waiting, and I ask if they can pick me up for the next game, and they say yes. This is a daily task that I have to do just to play, because there are just so many people in this packed gym. It feels like home though, because everyone in the gym love the same thing. It is basketball. I wait about ten minutes, and it is finally my turn to play. Immediately after I got on the court, I felt all my stress leave my body and disappear. It is my escape from reality, and I love it.
