June Masterclass Featured Student: Ana A.

It has something to do with the fact that I'm pretty tall and for every single thing I enjoyed doing I would just be told I'm too tall to do it. They would just say I should try basketball or volleyball or something of that sort, and that was just not for me—anything with a ball I could simply not do.
