How do you define your abilities?

I’ve played sports since I was six. One of my favorite memories would probably be coming in 2nd place for University of Louisiana-Lafayette at the 2019 NIRSA National Basketball Championships in the Unified basketball division or coming in 3rd in softball for Special Olympics Louisiana at the 2018 Special Olympics USA Games in Seattle, WA.
