    It should be noted; I was the varsity quarterback of my school’s football team as a freshman and a sophomore. After my sophomore season, I was diagnosed with a genetic heart disease that ended my athletic career. 18 months later I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I have become an annual counselor at Children’s Hospital Heart Camp. It is a camp for younger children with heart disease. I will be attending PITT (main campus) as a Pre-Med. I want to be a pediatric cardiologist.
