3. Have you engaged yourself in sports? If yes, why did you choose that
sport? If not, what are the reason’s why you didn’t engage yourself in
sports?
Yes because I really like the game of basketball, because I have many friends
who encourage me to join the leagues in our barangay, so I am very happy that I
am one of those chosen to play basketball for our barangay, here I learned a lot
especially the coordination of each other.
