"I think every girl can do anything they put their minds to." →[More:] Mia's amazing in so many ways: Severe asthma, but she still managed to be on both the cheerleading squad AND the football team (yes with the boys). The first link is from her sophomore year in high school.

She made the varsity football team her senior year. Now, she plays college lacrosse.

Oh, and by the way, she is my second cousin, once removed.

Her mom, and I are second cousins. My dad and her dad were cousins, and because my dad was an only child, she and her brothers and sister were as close to cousins as we had on my dad's side of the family.
