I am 5'7" (always the tallest girl in my class while growing up) and a point guard on the basketball team from junior high all the way to college. The level of the game in colleges in Taiwan can not be compared to that of the U.S. because technical schools are the ones training the corporate-sponsored future 'professional teams'.

So we were the real 'amateurs' and true enthusiasts because no colleges provide scholarships for their atheletes. (We did get to stay in the gym during spring training and all transportations and meals are paid for.) Several of my teamates have received their Ph.Ds and are professors in various universities. So far there has been one other teamate who's had breast cancer diagnosis - she underwent treatment in 2007, same time during my recurrence, but has not e-mailed me since the end of 2007.

"One day when we were young..." Thanks, Terri, for bringing back the good memory.
