Passion

Passion at its finest


I am passionate about many things.  I believe everything I take up as an interest and a hobby I am passionate about.  I find that taking up my interests and hobbies with passion is the best way to go about partaking in these things.  Something I am really passionate about is basketball.  More than playing the sport though, I am interested in the game itself, the statistics, the numbers, and just the sport as a whole.

I have often thought about taking my passion for basketball and making it into a career.  I could certainly look into getting into sports management and working in the front office for a team.  I could also be a scout that finds talent at either the college or professional level.

The population I would be serving would be obviously either those looking to get recruited into colleges or onto a professional basketball team.  The passion for my work would serve the team that I would be working for.  Because of my passion for the game and for the work I would be doing, I'd spend a lot of time and effort doing the best job I could, and this would be a huge asset to whoever I would serve.

Following the lead of my passion,
Could take me to endless heights.
Without passion in life,
I don't have much worthwhile.
Taking what I love,
And making it an important part of my life,
is important to me.
Doing what I love,
Dancing with my passion,
Is something I must do,
To maintain peace,
As well as happiness.
Staying true to what I love,
And following my dreams,
Is something I will always do.

  1. Andrew,

    Good post. Again, I'd like to see you really open up and write more. I'd like to see you double the length of your journal and double the size your poem.

    It feels like there is much more to be expressed, but you're holding back a little bit.

    What you write is always good and honest, but it feels like there is much more to be explained and expressed.

    Let go and give it a little free write.
