My name is Joshua Yopp and I live in New Britain Connecticut. I have lived in New Britain all my life. In my family I am the middle child of two siblings. Having my two brothers in my whole entire life, they have made me a stronger person. Throughout all my life I have always been involved in sports. What made me have interest in sports are my father and my older brother. The main sports that I played when I was younger were basketball, football, and baseball. Basketball is the main sport that I really love and practiced and played it every single day. What made me enjoy basketball is that when I had a game when I was younger my mom, dad, and my brothers would always come and watch my games. Playing this sport made me a hard worker because my parents always told me school before basketball, so I always maintained good grades so I will be able to play basketball.
Entering high school I was nervous because I didn't know what was going to come up. But the transition from middle school to high school wasn't a big difference because the work was kind of the same. The only thing that made me nervous was that there were a lot of people and I didn't know that many of them. But throughout my freshmen year in high school I wasn't really focused on getting all my school work. But throughout my high school years I have progressed on focusing on my work and actually getting it done on time. Now as a senior I have became a better person in the class room and out the class room because I don’t wait until the last minute to get things done. I think that was probably the biggest thing I have over came and became better on during my high school years.
