Looks like Ligustrum or Sageretia. Actual photos of the leaves and branches will help.
Where are you located?
It doesn’t look healthy enough to work on.

Could be a Prunus of some variety, looking closer at the stems and leaves, but I am not familiar with the trees where yo7 are. If it’s entering dormancy, it could be perfectly healthy. Hopefully it is outside and is hardy in your climate.

Welcome to the site!

I agree with Brian. The small serrated leaves and the thin brittle branches makes me think of prunus. It reminds me of Prunus spinosa, or blackthorn. Does it have thorns?

Any tree can be made into a bonsai. Some trees are easier or more suitable than others because of their characteristics. Prunus bonsai are often kept because of their showy flowers in the spring. It will be interesting to see if your tree flowers!
