Do you know what makes me unique? I'm like one in a million people who have the 2q31.1 microdeletion syndrome, plus autism, ADHD, a growth hormone deficiency, and a lazy eye! The deletion causes developmental delay, short stature, and some limb defects - like my crooked thumb! I've been taking growth hormone shots since I was about ten years old and when I was little I had to wear a patch over my good eye so my lazy eye would get stronger. My mom even put a patch on my favorite elephant so I wouldn't feel different. When I was a freshman in high school, I was on the cross country team even though I am not very athletic. I was able to persevere and run a 5k with my teammates and help cheer them on during practices. I had so much fun that I asked to join the tennis team and help be the manager. I like to help the coach to open all the new cans and help pick up all the supplies and stuff for my teammates. I used to be a Boy Scout so I learned how to volunteer and had fun working at the Food Pantry sorting all the cans and boxes. I like to give back to people who aren't able to take care of themselves. I like to spread awareness for kids with disabilities. I am participating in San Antonio's Fiesta Especial Royal Court and I was able to fundraise and earn the title of Count for this year. I got to dress up in a tux and go on stage and I got a sash and a Fiesta princess girl put a crown on me. I will go to school with the other court members and help spread awareness for people with disabilities and it's helping me not be shy and help me get ready for college. I have been accepted and I am going to go to Texas A&M University in Kingsville and be an Ag Teacher. I am raising my final project in FFA - my Berkshire breeding gilt named Maple. I also have her littermate and I showed her in the market show in Wilson County. I even made it to the sale so I had to go on stage while buyers bid on my project. I was on the Quiz and Wool team last year and this year I'm on the Farm Business Management team and hopefully, we'll go to state. I want to be an ag teacher so that I can help other kids like me to find a place where they belong and can be brave around animals and go to college.
