B
As an athlete, Kylie Graves has turned many teammates into friends. She knows how fortunate she is, but also recognizes some of her peers aren’t as fortunate. As the leader of a defense at sweeper (自由中卫), Kylie possesses strength as well as good leadership ability, and a drive to win.
Kylie and her sister Emily founded a Best Buddies chapter to help build one-to-one friendships between students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. These relationships help erase (消除) the invisible line that often separates students with such disabilities.
The sisters were inspired by their brother Braden, Emily’s twin brother, who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) but doesn’t allow it to prevent him from being involved in athletics and activities at school. He serves as the manager for the girls basketball and girls soccer teams.
“We realized that Braden’s fully involved in teams at school, but other kids aren’t getting that same experience,” Kylie said. “With Best Buddies we’re able to get more kids involved, to go to school events and to meet more people.” Off the field, Kylie hopes to become a neuroscientist who helps improve the lives of those with Down syndrome and other disabilities.
“I’ve spent the most time in soccer so it’s my favorite,” she said. “I have to make sure it doesn’t get to the goalie (守门员), so I’m responsible for backing everybody up. I like that role and I talk a lot on the field.”
While she might be in back, she’s at the forefront of motivating her teammates. As a freshman, Kylie expected to be a midfielder, but her coach desperately needed a sweeper. “I trained her a bit,” her coach said. “She always puts the team first. We knew she could be successful in this role.”
“I’ve been in those situations so many times that it doesn’t bother me anymore,” Kylie said. “It’s my job to stay calm and keep my teammates calm. I kind of feel like I’m doing my job like I’m supposed to do.”
