Tendo is a three-sport athlete who plays football, baseball, and his favorite, basketball. He has been playing since early childhood. Once he reached middle school, housing instability meant his family had to move frequently. At each new school, he joined teams but never fully felt part of them, knowing his family would eventually move again. In high school, his family moved less, and he was finally able to be part of a team. He helped win a tournament that took him to new states he had never explored. Now, Tendo finds himself at yet another new school, and more than anything, he hopes to join the team. He dreams of playing basketball at the D1 level after graduation. Basketball has opened doors to a world he didn’t know was available to him, and if he makes it to college, he won’t have to worry about how often his family moves, because he will have a home and a forever family through a team.
