Trying to pursue my dream

Hi, my name is Brenna Jorde and I am 15 years old. I have been an underdog my entire life. Because I am small and behind on growth, everybody has always looked at me like I am incapable of being great. I have been playing competitive soccer since I was 8 years old. I have had coaches tell me I am too small, I am too slow, I am not versatile, and I'm not good enough. So I took it upon myself to train every single day on my own from when I was 9 years old until now. It started with only 15 minutes a day to now 45 minutes to an hour. I have never missed a day for over 2000 days. I am still small, but I have improved immensely. Most coaches still cannot get over my size (I went to the doctor and have 11-year-old bones, meaning I am 4 years behind on growth.) I started to run to help my training for soccer. Running became another outlet for me so I began to compete. I started competing a year ago and in my high school freshman season, I was able to break 3 school records. No one ever mentioned my size, no one told me I was too slow, no one told me I wasn't versatile, and no one told me I wasn't good enough. Because of my success, I was offered the opportunity to run and play soccer at IMG Academy in Florida. My family has graciously agreed to move halfway across the country from Colorado to Florida. My parents have picked up an extra job to help with the costs for this great opportunity, but I would like to try and contribute a little myself. I got a job when I turned 14, but haven't made enough to even make a dent in costs. This is why I made this fundraiser in hopes to contribute, even if it's a little bit. Thanks for your support and taking the time to read this.
