WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

I love basketball and do exercise, that makes my feel happy and to meet my friends and do cool things too. When I'm happy I always smile and laugh and enjoy the time and the good moments, that makes my feel happy. 

I'm sad when my friends aren't well or my family are angry with me. When I'm sad I'm closed in my room and think about it and often hit the pillow. I talk with my friends about our problems or I talk for solution the conflicts there are between my family and me.

Studying for hard exams and disagree with other people make me stressed. To fight stress I hit soft things or play basketball. I forget everything that is around me and do my routines. And I talk with my friends and spend a good time.
