Jae LeVine: she’s kind of a big deal.
Jae LeVine is all heart.
The Coupeville High School freshman is a whirlwind as manager of the Wolf girls’ basketball team, and a big part of her job is bouncing around, grabbing every one of her players and squeezing the life out of them.
She’s a hugger and a smiler and, through good times and bad times, the mighty mite is a dispenser of good feelings to her girls, her fans, her coaches and anyone else who wanders into her path.
Today, on Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Day, take a moment to think about Jae — she has survived and thrived while dealing with a Ventricular Septal Defect (a large hole in the inner heart wall that required open heart surgery as a baby) — and the other men, women and children like her.
If she can fight the fight that she does, and be so dang happy all the time, maybe the rest of us can suck it up a bit and stop complaining about our little problems.
Forget about Be Like Mike.
Be Like Jae.
