I started playing basketball in 7th grade my dad was a coach and my older sister played so I tagged along, I have been playing ever since. I made the Varsity team my freshman year at Turlock High school.
My greatest inspiration is my parents, Dominic and Alice Pedretti. They taught me that I can accomplish anything as long as I give 100% to whatever I put my mind to. My parents encouraged me to try my hardest to succeed on and off the court. I have many, great basketball memories with my parents. I remember the late nights, outside on the driveway, learning post moves from my mom as she played defense. And, after many practices, my dad would always stay and challenge me while I was practicing my three point shot. They always believed in me.
The last three years I was named MVP of the league. My junior year I had a little set back I tore my ACL but I was dedicated and came back faster and stronger.
