“Entering a new school district, I knew that I had to make friends and get accustomed with the new town I was moving to. Switching from a private Catholic school to a public high school was a big change, but playing YMCA basketball made it much easier for me. I knew that the YMCA preached inclusiveness and kindness, but I didn’t know that playing basketball at the YMCA would help me learn leadership skills and make friendships that I would carry for the rest of my life.”
