I was eight years old the first time I played on a sports team and it was for North Haledon's soccer team. I was so excited because it was the first time my heart doctor allowed me to play a sport because of my heart condition. I loved soccer from the start and continued playing on the rec team as well as the school team in 7th and 8th grade. As well as playing soccer, I also got involved in figure skating. I skated for about two years, but by high school I did not have enough time to practice and I did not wish to become a competitive figure skater, so I decided to quit. I also decided to try out for the high school volleyball team instead of the soccer team. So far I have played on the school's volleyball team and this year I also played on a club team called NJVBC (North Jersey Volleyball Clinic). I love all the sports I have played over the years and I cannot wait for the years to come!
