American Diabetes Association CAMP celebration at Chicago Wolves hockey game!
Hello again! I am really
excited to write to you all again. My family and I just registered for the
American Diabetes Association Expo in April. This will be my first year
attending the annual diabetes EXPO, so I am looking forward to all the events, discussions,
and activities they have planned. My friend and I attended the Chicago Wolves
game back in January for the diabetes association. It was awesome to see
the outpouring of supporting families that surrounded us. The game was
great- I had a lot of fun and can't wait to go to another ADA sponsored
event. When I attend these events, I feel so supported, and that there are so
many kids that are affected by the same things as me. It just shows that we are
never alone in this and there are so many people out there that support us.
I just finished my
school volleyball season, so I am finished with school sports for the rest of
school year. It is kind of strange coming home after school. But I
decided to join a club volleyball team to continue playing. I still participate
in basketball and softball as well- I just have to stay active all the time. I
am very competitive- my friends say I am almost too competitive even for P.E,
but that is just me! Playing all these sports make me feel so grateful for
having my wireless pump. I like the fact that I can constantly wear it and I
don't get hooked on anything and it doesn't rip off that easily. It is so
convenient and completely works well in my busy, active lifestyle. My
goal is to set a great example with all that I do and playing all these sports
with diabetes makes me know that nothing can get in my way.
