“What I love most about my team is we learn to play as a team and continue to grow together,” Hon said. “How much we can work together while communicating to work together as a team, sometimes we can get mad or upset but we build each other up. Being able to be with my teammates, having the opportunity is the best It could be.”

Hon said her family is a big source of inspiration. “Everyone has been a big inspiration but if I had to be specific, I would choose my family, me and my sisters have a great bond together. Me and Kristen play for the high school soccer team while my younger sister Lindsey, plays for the middle school team. My mom and dad have always been in my life, and they will always be my biggest supporter and fans.”
