My mom brings me to every game and is always cheering me on. She supports me through my ups and downs. My dad does not come to every game, but he still supports me in his own way. After every game, he will ask how I did and try to pry all the details out. My siblings don't come either, but that is because they have other things, but I know they are always cheering me on.

When I had my club senior night, my dad, mom, and brother came to support me. My brother did not need to come but he chose to show that he really cares for me.

My friends Amber and Kenzi were also there. It was at Amber's house. We made silly costumes that made us Marvel characters. This event showed how we are always there for each other and try to have fun in any situation.

It is important for the success of the team to stay positive. I persevered and always found something positive to think about so I do not dwell on the negatives.

The couches would sit me and play their daughters even though they were not better than me. When it was time for me to go to 18U they did not have a team, and I was scared to try out for a new club without knowing anyone. When I got to the ICE tryouts, they welcomed me with open arms, and I knew it was the spot for me. The couch Always treated me with respect and wanted me to get better. The players were so nice and we became friends right away.

I wanted them to believe in me, so I put in a lot of hard work to get better at the skills I was lacking in. I got a net and started hitting in my garage. I took practice seriously and asked the coach to give me drills for certain things.
