Sports
Growing up around sports was a tremendous advantage for me. I couldn't wait to get older and be able to play sports. You see, my uncle was a superstar. He played in college and won a National Championship. I grew up throwing the football and baseball with him and always telling him i couldn't wait to grow up and be just like him! He always said to me, "All you have to do is believe and you can do anything you put your mind to." His words have stuck with me forever. As I've grown up, I have participated in softball in basketball. Last year, I can say i have achieved my goal that I have been working for since I was a little girl. I became a State Champ in softball. Nothing in this world will ever beat the feel of the adrenaline that still rushes through my body as I talk about it. I can't wait to help my kids reach their goals in life!
