"Basketball & Life"
A poem by Miss Jordan Schroeder

               This is who I am, a baller, a teammate, an athlete
The rhythm of the ball marks my beat
               Now lets go way back when
                    When my fingers first felt the leather
                    When my feet found the hardwood
            It can't be phased by weather
            I'll shoot in rain or shine
          This game is mine
           When you hear that bounce of the ball
You realize your call
        Your duty in life, not some wish
        The way you gotta drive and dish
        The reason you gotta pick and pass
        The meaning behind the crossover dribble
            I gotta listen 2 my coach
            I memorize his playbook, play by play
        I follow his commandments, day by day
                                                        If he tells me drive ...... I drive                                                                                                                           He tells me to be a leader ....... be alive
                                        Just in case the enemy attacks
In life do what you have to do, but watch your back
Don't be selfish, assist your pal with you dish
Be daring, go for three point range
At any second ........ the score can change
Never let up on intensity and integrity
Never lose your love and laugh
You have to play life, you can't watch it go by
Don't sit on that bench, believe you can fly
This is who I am, a Witness, an Achiever, a Dreamer
The rhythm of life marks my breath
And that is why this game called life will never see death
