hello steemians. my name is joe. im new and im glad to be a part of this awesome community, i was introduced to this platform by a close buddy alias @beyondgoogling, am  study international relations in the university, i played basketball since i was 4 because thats what keeps me going, i'm a huge fan of the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. even  though i've gone through a lot of challenges, i choose to continue playing despite a lot of attempt from my parents to stop me since i was little,
i continue playing for three reason:
1. it keeps me going even when im down with a lot of problems to delibrate on, 
2. playing the game helps me keep fit, and i become better at it every day,  
3. i feel basketball is life, it paves a way through my body, connecting my body and soul in one rythym,making me forget all the 
problems i have then, leaving me with just one goal, to make the basket. i currently give tutorial videos on youtube for those
 players who need directions on how to make some basic moves in basketball, my advice to anyone out there who has the passion 
to play the game but doesnt feel he or she would become better at it, 'always remember,all men seek one goal, success 
or happiness, always strive to be better, the man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection,
beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to cocentrate them, and success shall be yours'
