What is one interesting story in your life? I swam with sharks, completely unintentionally. My family was in California and my sister ditched the family and went to the pool and my parents then ditched me and were snorkeling together so I was solo and a tiger shark swam underneath of me. I froze then went and told my parents who didn't believe me, so I got out of the ocean and left them. Five years later I found an old letter from my grandma who lives in California regarding that vacation, it started like this... "Looks like Kelsey was right after all..." the headline of the news article attached was "Schools of Tiger Sharks in La Jolla cove" I left the note on the counter for when my parents got home from work. Needless to say we had a little sit down.
I chose my jersey number because ... 14 was taken.
