Re: #33 Sophia Young
Sophia'nın son yazısını aşağıya kopyalıyorum.
Seimone, Keisha ve Sophia tekerlekli sandalye maçına gitmişler. Zaten ilgili forumda da yazılmıştı.
Gerçekten de çok hoş şeyler yazmış yine.
Bir de Türkiye'ye uçuşunu anlattığı yazısı var, ilk defa Business Class'ta uçmuş. O da güzel bir yazı, çok masumca anlatmış yine, takımda en fazla sempati duyduğum oyunculardan biri Sophia.

Wheelchair Basketball
The Galatasaray club that I play for here in Turkey has all the major sports in Europe and included in that list is wheelchair basketball. This team is the best in Turkey, in fact, they are the best in Europe because they won the Euro league championship last season. This statistic caught mine, Seimone and Keisha's attention so we decided that we were going to attend one of their games.
We got to the game about 4 minutes after tip off and the score was 20 to 4. We were all like "Shut up! This is better than a regular game." Anyway, the rules to wheelchair basketball are the same as regular basketball except with the fouls, the traveling and also you can't rise up out your chair. You are only allowed to push without dribbling the ball or it?s a travel and you cant run into a chair when that person is shooting. (don?t quote me)
This game was so interesting, fun, exciting and it kind of put things into prospective for us that have no handicap. You know we take things for granted so much and here were people who had no legs working so hard, having so much fun, enjoying the sport. They just really love what they were doing. There?s not very much room for can?t in my vocabulary after watching that game. Our Gala team won the game; it was a blowout with the final score being 80-24.
Thank you God for my abilities and my talents. Help me Jesus to never take them for granted; but to honor and serve you while doing the things you have put me on this earth for.
