A boy in my class called Kaylis Peneha has received the Steve Adams basketball scholarship at Scots college. Scots College is a boarding school in wellington. The scholarship lasts 5 years and begins next year when he turns year nine. The previous recipient of the scholarship is about to finish year 13.
I don't know Kaylis very well but I know he loves basketball and I know he is very good at it. Kaylis had to work very very hard to get the scholarship. I bet Kaylis is very happy and excited to have received the scholarship as it is such an honour.
Kaylis has been to two Steven Adams training camps in the past. Steven Adams is one of the best New Zealand basketballers and plays professionally in an American basketball league.
In conclusion, this just proves that if you work hard enough and have the support of family and friends you can accomplish your goals.
I asked kaylis if he was sad about leaving his friends but he said that he will see his friends on the weekends and in the holidays.
