What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreShe loves to dance. Danced her whole life. This is one sport that a lot don't consider it a sport. She can't do a lot of cardio, like running, but this keeps her active without hurting her heart. It's her passion. It's her drive. Pom is a team, so she learns about being a team player, also in dance she has to work with others to make the end result happen.
Good christian role models and examples. She is very involved in her church youth group. The people at our church support her, encourage her and want the best for her. I feel that just in the last year alone she has grown so much more in her faith. She strives everyday to be a good Christian girl and help spread the gospel to others in all that she does. She had to overcome a lot in her past from bullies and mean girls, so to see her today with her spirit so much better and overcoming hard time
Again I am hitting on the fact that when she was diagnosed with 2 heart conditions, sinus tachycardia and Mitral valve regurgitation and poor circulation, you wouldn't be able to tell it by looking at her, but she tries so hard to keep going and not letting these things stop her. She is so strong and I am amazed and so proud of her and all that she does.
