It was one of the worst games I’ve ever played. It felt like I couldn’t hit the ocean with a beach ball. And as I added another failed shot attempt to my stat sheet, my mom - who normally was super loud and supportive - just put her face in her hands.

And even though I had missed several shots throughout the game, I finally hit my stride in the fourth quarter and ended the night with 18 points.
