I am 15 years old and I was funded through the KidSport program when I was younger.\u00a0 My mom was a basketball player and she wanted me to learn how to play as well so she got me involved with the RCBA program.\u00a0 She wanted me to get out there and have fun and make new friends.<\/p>\n

I prefer playing on team sports such as baseball and basketball as I love the team aspect of sport.\u00a0 I love communicating with others and developing skills every day.\u00a0 I like to give help and receive it.\u00a0 Team bonding is very very important to me. Sport has taught me so many skills which relay in real life.\u00a0 For example, what I have learned in sport has helped me with finding a job.\u00a0 The skills are the same with sport and working \u2013 teamwork goes hand in hand.\u00a0 A team effort is so important in life. If I didn\u2019t get involved in sport I would be closed off.\u00a0 Not necessarily meaning I would make bad decisions, but I have learned how to have more fun and not be closed off.<\/p>\n

I am not sure if donors to KidSport realize or see the impact they make by donating time, energy or money to the KidSport program.\u00a0 I would like to tell you that you are making a difference in children\u2019s lives \u2013 you have opened up many children\u2019s eyes and given them an opportunity to be on a team which is an amazing opportunity for them.<\/p>\n

It has helped change my life and I am grateful that you are making a huge impact on kids\u2019 lives across our province.<\/h4>\n

Thank you<\/h4>\n
