I had severe hearing problems when I was little and still have some problems today. Because of my hearing issues I struggle with pronoucing certain sounds.

Started speech therapy to help with the speech problems that I had from my hearing problems. Still can not pronouce all of my sounds.

Helped me to get into physical activity, working as a team, and becoming a leader. It also helped gave me goals to work towards and taught me what hard work is.

My family is everything to me and the addition of my little brother is something so deer to my heart. My little brother is now in the US Army and I could not be more proud of him.

This coach that I played for was very intense and yelled a lot. She tore me down as a person and I lost a lot of confidence from this. I ended up playing for her for 6 years

I was bullied a lot my freshmen and sophomore years og high school. I ended up switching schools for my junior and senior year.
