Deontre Minor '12 Recruiting Profile

My name is Deontre Minor, I done came along way. Due to the fact that I was diagnose with Junior Rheumatoid Arthritis. My doctor always told me i probably wasn't going to be able to play sports, or maybe even walk again. This really had made a big change in my life, but I kept trying to play every chance I could get. After awhile I was back moving normal, and back to playing sports. My last check up, my doctor told me, that it wasn't normal for a kid to normally move there body as if it never happen.
