My Brother Ryan

I admire my brother Ryan a lot. He’s twenty-two years old and goes to Creighton University in New York. I’m four years younger. He was a good athlete in school.He was on the community swim team. He swams fast. He often won first place. He encouraged me to join the swim team,too. I could swim fast, but I didn’t win many first-place ribons. Mostly I won second or third place. But he always rooted me. Ryan also played soccer on the city team. He was ten years old and was the best team player. His team lost the championship by one point. I was sad,but the other team was better.

          In high school,he loved to play basketball.His team played many teams and won.I wanted to play basketball,too.He practiced shooting baskets with me a lot.My brother told me to play sports because they teach you many good things. For example, team sports teach you good sportmanship. You have to cooperate with your team if you want to win. If your team loses, you must not get angry. You just have to remember to play the best you can. I really look up to my brother a lot he is a good athlete he is wise, and he is also my good friend.
