What is your favorite thing to do and why?
I love to sing and play Wheelchair Basketball with my brother. Even though I am not physically challenged I strap myself into a chair and practice along side my brother. It pushed my brother to better than me. He is older than I am. But he has had many challenages in his life and I love to see him happy and would do anything for him.

What is your favorite sport to play and why?
My favorite sport to play is takle football. I love to play with my nieghbors (cause they are boys and I am a girl and I show them that I am not afraid to get hurt).

How long have you played adapted sports?
I have been playing wheelchair basketball with my brother for about a year. I love to get out there and challenge myself and learn.

How has playing sports changed you?
I have have learned that it is not easy pushing yourself down the court and back. And triyng to catch the ball and pass when I am in the chair. It has made me more aware of poeple in wheelchairs.

What does it mean to you to be able to play sports?
I like to be active weather it is singing or playing football or basketball , riding my bike & just being able to play with my friends is a blessing.

Who is your hero and why?
My hero is my mother. Cause she tells me I can do or be whatever I want to be if I push hard enough I can do it.

What are you thankful for?
My family. Cause they bring me and my brother to practice. Oh and by the way my brother is Christopher Kammerer can you see we almost look like twins. GO THUNDER!!!!!!
