Thank you to my parents who have encouraged me to live my dream!

Thank you to my twin sister Samantha who has been there every step of the way!

Thank you to Amy Sterling Casil who helped me to organize my thoughts!

Thank you to Veronika Kucherov for designing the cover and to John Salangsang and the Harlem Globetrotters for the cover photo!

Thank you to Scott Norton, sports agent, who helped me with several of my first interviews! My dream job is to work with him after college.

Thank you to Tim Ezell (Fox 2 News & Neighborhood Basketball Association) for interviewing me on TV for the first time when I was 11. His advice and humor helped me to realize that I could do it!
