Back in Belfast. My first stop was to Boojum! With having a couple weeks off from classes because of finals SCL had up active. It was great to get back to coaching and in different schools and communities. My time at home was great but I missed making a difference over here and seeing the friends I made. We also had a break from basketball as well so a lot of my time was spent seeing different tourists’ parts of Belfast and the United Kingdom along with various coaching. The Ball is Lyfe programme officially started and it was a joy to get into these various schools working with these children through basketball. The schools programme also started as well which is more for the mentoring side of things. The process wasn’t always easy, it was challenging at certain points, but the reward in the end was all worth it. Seeing the impact, we were able to make and the smiles on their faces made every single bit worth it. It feels good to be back!
