This has been a very ironic experience for us. For the first time in forever, we had finally had a designated time and day set aside for us to film our Genius Hour sports videos. Our busy schedules and our awful time management were usually the two things that had put us behind where we wanted to be with editing/filming our videos. However, it was not our busy schedules or time that interfered with us not being able to film. Sadly COVID struck one of the Athletic Beasts. Due to Melia getting COVID, I (Hailey) sadly had to play basketball by myself. However, I did have help from a special guest.(stay tuned to see who that is) Without having my partner in crime right beside me for our last sport, my special guest helped with film and he gave me pointers on how to really play basketball.
I went to the YMCA in Mocksville. While I was there, I did some layups to warm up. I only did the right side though because I do not like doing the left side. (I don't know.. it just feels weird to me to do it on the left side) Then, I decided to do a few jump shots from different places on the court, I surprisingly did not do too bad while doing those. I lowkey impressed myself. Next, I got some footage of me dribbling with the master skills that I uphold. And of course, to end it all, I shot some threes. Definitely, something I will need to work on as you will be able to tell whenever we upload our videos. Out of all of the 5 threes that I shot, I made 1 out of 5. However, the last shot I made was a corner shot. #Yolo Overall Feelings: Hailey: "Overall, I give this experience a 8/10. It was fun, but it just wasn't the same without having Melia there. I felt like it made everything harder without having my partner. Overall, I had fun, but it would have been better if Melia was there." Melia: “I would have loved to be apart of basketball this week, but sadly I got COVID. Luckily my symptoms were mild and I was not in that bad of shape. I am so proud of Hailey for still continuing to do Genius Hour even though I was not able to do it with her.”

Poor Melia, but this is a super cool project and i understand the problem with not being able to meet up. It always seems that everyone is doing things on separate days so there is never time for everyone to get together.
