Inspired by Michael Jordan£¬ Edgar dreamed of becoming a basketball player. His ultimate goal was torepresent his country in major competitions. He pushed himself to run 10 km and skip rope on a daily basis£¬ which£¬in turn£¬ improved his lung capacity. He also involved himself in some competitions and led his team to become the champion. However£¬ he fell behind in his studies for not balancing them well. When his parents persuaded him to quit basketball£¬ he made no response at first£¬ but after careful consideration£¬ he decided to keep on and assured them that he would catch up with others quickly. After that£¬he trained even harder although his ankles ached and his clothes were sweaty. Thanks to that£¬ he gained a great capacity to defendand attack£¬ and seized an ideal opportunity to enter the national team to compete with others to his heart’s content.
