Luke Dione - Class of 2020

I’ve been playing basketball my whole life. When it came time for travel season, I really thought I was going to make the A team because I’ve been practicing so much. When I finally found out what team I was on, I made the B team. I was kind of disappointed but I thought it would be a good experience. So I practiced more and more, and the year after I tried as hard as I could and still made the B team. The third year, I tried out for the third time and I finally made the A team. I was really happy because from the B team I thought I’d learn a lot, but when I finally went on the A team there was just so much more. It had an impact on my life because when I found out I was on the B team, it didn’t make me happy since I’ve been practicing for so long. When I finally made the A team, I was just really happy. I did really good the first year, but I knew I could do better so I wanted to practice even more. Last year, I tried out and made the A team again and I did really well. I didn’t even know I could do that good. I was just really proud of myself.
