"We Are The Flames! And We Are Burning Strong! Nothing is Going to Stop Us! The Heat is on!"

I am a Communication Sciences and Disorders major at the University of Georgia. I can't wait to become a Speech Pathologist and spend my whole day working with kids.

Three years ago, a close friend and I founded a special needs cheerleading team, The Flames. The girls on the squad have an array of disabilities ranging from Cerebral palsy to Down syndrome, but have proven that nothing will stop them. They are a miraculous group of girls that encourage inspiration and play duck-duck-goose like experts. While the girls have been given priceless friendships and confidence from the squad, they have taught me more about life than any thousand-page book ever could.
