“The biggest challenge I’ve faced is when I broke my wrist. It’s hard because I keep re-injuring it and I’ve broken it twice now. I’ve had to do a lot of physical therapy and wear a brace whenever I play a sport, which is kind of annoying. But, through tough times like these, my mom has kept me positive. My mom is the most influential person in my life because she makes me a better person. She is always so happy and without her positivity, I wouldn’t be as happy as I am. She made me a social being and helped me get out of my shell. My mom made me the person I am today and I’m so thankful for that.”
