Paralympics pt 5

A few of my favorite memories happened in the summer of 2015 and the spring of 2016. During the summer of 2015 Coach Bob and the rest of my team went to a camp at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We stayed on campus for a week, were assigned to a team that was coached by an U. of I. player, practiced with our team, learned new skills from the U. of Ill. Men’s coach and Women’s coach, and got to eat authentic college cafeteria food. It was so much fun. This is going to sound weird, but I felt in my comfort zone with all these athletes that either had the same disability as me or closer to my situation than an able-bodied athlete, which I hung out with in high school.
