I love the rush I get from playing hockey and soccer—they’re fast, competitive, and fun. Running tests my endurance and helps me clear my head. I like challenging myself, working hard with my teammates, and always trying to improve. Mistakes are good because they make you better.
My parents inspire me because they always support me and remind me to keep going. I also look up to my coaches and teammates—they work hard, encourage me to stay positive to be my best, and show me that effort and attitude matter just as much as skill.
We’ll never forget when Julia earned the nickname “crease crusher” following her last season of hockey. In the playoffs she dominated in front of the net, holding her ground and playing with grit and confidence. Her effort helped her boys’ team advance in the playoffs. It was a moment that really showed her strength, focus, and heart.
