Lady Tigers visit children at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital

LASONDRA BARRETT: Saturday morning our team took a visit to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital to brighten the day of young children who are ill or hurt.  We saw children from the ages of 5 to 14 and greeted them with our prescence, a Lady Tiger basketball, and a Van Chancellor t-shirt.  It was amazing to see these young children with so much joy and energy, even though they are going through hard times.  Seeing them made me appreciate things such as my health and having the ability to play basketball.  These things can be so minor to people until they are taken away.  Each and everyone of the children at Our Lady of the Lake put a smile on each one of the Lady Tigers faces because they taught us that the small things we complain about aren't nearly as tough as the situation they are in.  I enjoyed the visit to the hospital and I look forward to many more in the future!!”

TAYLOR TURNBOW: "My experience at the hospital was remarkable and heartwarming. It was really inspirational. It made me want to do more with what I have and never forget to be thankful for what I have and where i come from." 

JEANNE KENNEY: "It was amazing to see how much kids look up to the lady tiger family.  Donovan is 14 yrs old and was speechless when we walked in. The joy that came to his face was the absolute best feeling in the world to me.”

THERESA PLAISANCE:After visiting the children's hospital yesterday I now appreciate even more my health and well being. I sometimes complain about how hard it is to be a student athlete with my hectic schedule and difficult workouts but now I realize how much of a gift it is just to be able to participate in these daily activities. My heart and prayers go out to all these children and their families. And seeing the happiness we brought to these children makes me want to do more to give back to the community.”

SWAYZE BLACK: “On Saturday, September 11 we got the chance to go to Our Lady of the Lakes Hospital to visit with the kids that were there. I really dislike going to hospitals but I can honestly say being able to visit those kids and make them smile at such a tough time was one of the best feelings in the world. I definitely enjoyed being there and I really admire how strong those kids are. It was such a great experience.”

 

ADRIENNE WEBB:Visiting the children in the hospital on Saturday  was a wonderful experience. It made me appreciate all the opportunities I didn't have to miss out on due to any illness or injury that these children are suffering from; and still with those illnesses and injuries these children know how to enjoy the precious life they had. I am greatly appreciative to have the opportunities that I have been presented with and happy that I was able to participate in the hospital visit on Saturday. These experience gave me a new perspective on enjoying the little things that life has to offer you.”
