Intro (introduce the topic and set the scene with descriptive details- who, what, when, where)
Topic: Adversity is inevitable in this course of life that we are on. There are no avoiding obstacles. The only thing we can control is how we deal with it all. Many have constructed one or more systems to ensure their well-being through difficult times. For me, the sport of basketball became the safety net that helped me through some of the most challenging times of my life. Something so ordinary, such as playing basketball at my local park with my neighbors with whom I formed deep relationships, later on had a great impact on my life. Fortunately, it also became something that I became extremely skilled at over time.

I also ask that you bring in a quote or two from one of these writers that relates to your narrative in some way.
