contributing member such as …………………… I learned how the power of a well-run group is exponentially stronger than individuals. I learned when to speak up and when to listen.

I became thirsty for more responsibility and by that spring I decided to run for…

Addie, Katelynn, AP, Joshua, and I were getting in the car after a dodgeball tournament and Amber caught me right as we were leaving. Everyone had already gotten in the car and Amber pulled me aside.

mainly done in primary schools at lunch time and after school. The focus sport of this event was football and was normally a session for around an hour. However if the weather was bad due to poor indoor facilities I would sometimes need to coach dodgeball inside as the space would be too small for football.
