Hello, I am Lj Rush. I am a student athlete that goes to Drake University<\/a> in Des Moines, Iowa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say that I am someone who enjoys being around the people I care about, staying active, having fun, and enjoying the things that make me happy. Four of the biggest things in my life are basketball, my family, video games, and music. Each of these things is different, but they all play an important part in who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my biggest interests is basketball.<\/a> I have always enjoyed playing basketball because it gives me a chance to compete, improve myself, and have fun. I like the feeling of being on the court and working toward becoming better. Basketball has also taught me the importance of teamwork and not giving up when things do not go my way. Even when I have a bad game, I can learn from it and try to do better the next time. Basketball is more than just a sport to me because it is something I genuinely enjoy doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important part of my life is my family. I love my family because they have always been there for me and supported me. Spending time with my family is something I appreciate because those moments can turn into memories that I will have for a long time. My family is also a big reason why I try to work hard and become a better person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also really enjoy video game<\/a>s. Especially GTA being my favorite. Gaming is one of the ways I like to relax when I have free time. I enjoy playing different types of games, especially when I can play with friends. Video games can be competitive, but they can also just be a fun way to take my mind off school or other responsibilities for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I love music. I listen to music pretty often because there is always a song that fits whatever mood I am in. Music can help me relax, get motivated, or just make a normal day more enjoyable. I like being able to discover new songs and artists while still listening to the music I already enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, basketball, family, video games, and music are all important parts of my life. They give me things to enjoy, people to appreciate, and activities that help me be myself. These interests may seem simple, but together they say a lot about who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
