Part One- Introduction
A. I became active in sports and sports spectating roughly when I was in middle school. When I got to middle school I became active in athletics and got my first taste of competitive sport and loved it.
B. I believe that some of my biggest influences in becoming so active in sports was my family. Many people in my family are coaches, and for the majority of my childhood I was the only girl within my group of my cousins, so growing up I watched many sports events and played with my cousins.

I come from a town that is predominantly Hispanic, which gives me a much different outlook on minority/majority demographic relationships; I can relate to people that have been the minority growing up as well.
