It has been my lifelong dream to play on the middle school basketball team．I began playing basketball when I was in the second grade．My elder brother taught me to play．He practiced with me every afternoon and always attended my games with my parents．

This year，I started the sixth grade．The middle school wanted to choose new members for the school team．In order to be a member of the team，my brother helped me prepare for it．The tryouts were held last Saturday morning．Twenty-three students from my grade tried out for the team but the school only needed five．I knew I worked as hard as I could and I thought I had done a good job，but I was still nervous on Saturday night and Sunday morning，waiting for the result．On Sunday afternoon，my parents took me to the school and I was so happy when I saw my name on the list．

My parents and nay brother are proud of me．I'll work very hard to stay on the team．
