James Townsend, one of sac high’s varsity basketball forwards was interviewed about being on varsity and his plans for the future. I asked James how he felt about being on varsity. He said “I feel good because I have accomplished the highest level of high school basketball.” I definitely would agree and would also feel proud of myself. This shows that he has come a long way and is obviously good. The next question I asked was “What advice would you give to others trying to get where you are”. He replied “I would say focus on defense. Also focus on the small things details of your game because they can make a huge difference in the long run.” Once again I would have to agree with Mr. Townsend because the small things can definitely make a difference in the game. Don’t be afraid to do the small things no one else will. The last question I asked was “Where do you plan to be 10 years from now?” He answered “I plan on going to college at Occidental University and playing basketball. After I obtain my degree in political science, I plan on working on becoming a politician for California so I can affect many lives in a positive way.”
I think James has a promising future. He has goals and he knows what he wants to be in life. He could definitely be an inspiration for others. I think we need some smart people like him. Hopefully he does become a politician and can lead us in the right direction.
