Anwen AmashParents: Justin and Kara AmashShared by teammate Adelyn BreuningerComing into a varsity sport as a freshman was one of the scariest things that I have done, not knowing anyone and the uncertainty of making the team was extremely stressful. I remember tryouts day. I wasn't the only one that wasn't on varsity last year and was able to talk to someone who was older and more mature. Anwen was there for me when I didn't even know I needed it and from then on has been a mentor in my life. She shines her light everywhere with her kindness, positivity and care for everyone around her. She is someone I aspire to be more like and who I can always count on. She is a huge cheerleader and I always know she is rooting for me no matter what.

Someone who came into our lives from Valencia and quickly became family.You brought with you courage, curiosity, and an eagerness to try new things, even joining the basketball and soccer teams! That takes strength not everyone has, especially at your age. Over this past year, we’ve watched you grow in several ways. You adapted to a new culture, a new school, a new language, and several new sports. You became an important part of each team and showed determination, resilience, and joy.
