When I was in grade 4, I started taking the game seriously . I wanted to play the point-guard position, but my coach (and dad) wouldn’t let me until I learned how to dribble the ball. So, I built a paperclip chain. Every day I worked on my ball handling for 20 minutes, adding a paperclip to the chain every time I completed my program. If I missed even one day, I had to take the whole chain apart. After over 550 consecutive days, I decided that my chain had served its purpose and it was time to take it apart.
