Prompt 1 question

In my childhood I have had many great times, with friends or family. One of my greatest memories every was probably beating the Muskego basketball team in fourth grade. This team was undefeated and most games weren't even close. To beat them you had to show and give everything you had. My team we gave everything we had and at the end of the game we saw the scoreboard and we had won.

When My team beat them in fourth grade it changed me forever because I learned one valuable lesson you know when you are going one hundred percent, and you can't win or do anything if you're not going one hundred percent. This memory also changed me forever because of what we had to do to get to what we had accomplished. I now realize why wouldn't you go one hundred percent, because the world can end any given day you could die any given day, so you don’t know when its going to end like in the state tournament in high school basketball a senor might have his last game in a Pewaukee uniform right there on the court. So why don't you want to leave on a good note?

The whole reason this universe was created was to see how far you can live or to see the best you can do, so what is the point of not giving what you have. There were a couple famous quotes by Michael Jordon one being "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." This quote specifically speaks out to being lazy. When people ask you to get them a glass of coffee and the coffee machine is ten feet away that’s called lazy, which is less then one hundred percent. This was one of my greatest memories and I think about it everyday.
