I love adaptive sports. I participate in wheelchair tennis, sled hockey, wheelchair basketball, and track. I go to the driving range with my grandfather. Some sports, like track and basketball, I participate with people without disabilities. Others, like tennis, sled hockey and another basketball team, I participate with other people with disabilities. If there is a sport, I will find a way to try it. I am in 7th grade and I like school. I like music. Last year, I played trumpet in the 6th grade band. I participate in 5K races for charity. I like video games and You Tube. I like to travel. I have been to many states for sled hockey tournaments. I have been to Myrtle Beach with my parents and to Northern New York to the Thousand Islands with my grandparents. I would like to go to Canada and to California. I have been in a TV commercial for a car dealership. My most exciting day was in October 2019, when I was the Dicks Junior Starter for the Pittsburgh Penguins game vs the Anaheim Ducks. I skated in my sled onto the ice before the National Anthem and I lined up with the players on the ice during the Nation Anthem. Then I skated off. I received my own Pittsburgh jersey with my name on it. And Pittsburgh won the game! The Penguins gave us 40 tickets for friends and family, so I even had my own cheering section.
