Writing a Profile
When I first received this assignment, I had no clue on who I admired enough to profile, especially since family members and friends were off limits. Just thinking about focusing my time and energy into one person made me stressed out beyond my limits. I always felt that people were nothing special; from one person to the next everyone is equal. Then I started recalling memories from this past summer and how one person changed my view on the sport that I love and ultimately life.

Jason Belmonte, a well-known two-handed Australian bowler is ranked number two by the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association). “Working with Diandra as a friend and competitor helps me improve my game and challenges me daily to grow as a bowler and person,” Belmonte says of Asbaty. Diandra Asbaty recently beat Jason Belmonte in a double’s tournament presented by the PBA. While observing Diandra’s conversations with Jason, I realized they had a brother-sister type relationship. Both were able to pick on each other and play harmless jokes often to lighten the
