My name is Ellie Edwards, and I am 13 years old. I have a brother and a sister. Their names are Cooper and Olivia. My favorite sport is soccer, and I do soccer, basketball, cheer and cross country. I had open-heart surgery when I was 5 years old. I am still here because of the people who helped me get through it. Because of God, I am here. I have a family, and I have friends, all because how He made me. I also have two dogs named Winnie and Pearl.
