Ryan is a current sophomore at Kingwood High School involved with soccer, in and out of school, as well as on the varsity cheer team.
What is something that you are intensely passionate about?
“I’m intensely passionate about a lot of things, soccer and cheer being examples. But, I think the things that make me do the sports that I love, like cheer and soccer are because of the friendships that I have made from them. The people that I have met, that I will have lifelong bonds with, are truly unforgettable. The feeling of sharing a love or passion for the same sport as your teammates is something indescribable. I am also extremely passionate about my sports and the friendships made in them is because, you never know when that all will be taken away from you. I learned that the hard way, when I took everything for granted and was left with what I thought was nothing my freshman year. I was out for a full year with an ACL and meniscus surgery that left me devastated. I craved to get back to my sports and the friendships those sports fostered, which led me to be more passionate and grateful for the things that make me happy.”
