I like our chances. We play well together as a team as we believe in each other as players.

The neurologist told me that it would be a year before I could possibly play soccer again. That's not what I wanted to hear. I was crushed.

I tried to stay positive every day with all that was going on around me. My father got better and school got started again, despite the devastation in Bay St. Louis.

I am happy. I want to become a nurse after college and help people, like the ones that helped me.
