Family! - my role-
So in my amazing family of four goofy folks, I am the oldest child. I have my hilarious little sister, Sophia, and my two outstanding parents Diana and Eddie.
Why the court!?
Playing basketball has been one of my favorite hobbies since 1st grade! Playing every week is so much fun for me and I absolutely love this sport! On the court is where I can relax and have fun but also use what I know to set up plays and help out my team. I've always felt most comfortable on the basketball court because that is where I can learn much more about the sport I love, and I never feel discouraged or embarrassed while I play and most importantly; practice!
Favorite personality trait?
WANTED- Acts of kindness- Kindness is something I've always made sure I had towards others. This is very appreciated! Even the smallest things to do, like smile, and talk nicely to your peers, can make someone feel better! When someone is rude to you, honestly it drags you down and personally, it makes me feel depressed! There's no reason to make someone feel that way, so spread the word. Spread kindness.
My role model!
Yes... This is me and my dad when I was about five... He is my role model and has been for as long as I can remember. He was the one to inspire me to get better at something I love, and for years, its been basketball! He's taught me my rights from my wrongs and has made me push myself to become the person I am today. I love him so much!(: He has always been there for me, and as serious as he seems, he's always made growing up fun. He taught me how to play sports, how to forgive, how to help out, and most importantly how to be the best person I could ever be. We've been through a whole bunch, but at all times, he's been there for each and every one of us.
What makes me unique?
I think I'm unique because even though I can be weird, yet soft spoken, I'm always going to act like myself. Ever since I started going to middle school, my friends have made me realize that I don't have to change myself for anyone. I can be me, and honestly, that's the only person I want to be! I will never forget when my best friend told me that here, home, and everyone else, I can be myself, and no matter what, if I can stay true to myself, then, good things will come from me just being me.
