Stoller Eighth Grader Takes Over the Court

A 6'2 high school basketball star with colleges already looking at her, eighth grader Jaime Nared is an idol to many.

Everyone who knows Jaime bared knows she crushes on the basketball court but how does she do it? She works out "usually everyday". She works out for two hours if she's lifting weights or one hour if she's not. Jaime says her mom and dad are supportive all the time. Her dad, "Isn't the kind of person to make you do anything". She also thinks that her mom, "has been very supportive" in everything she does.

Jaime says she is very excited to leave Stoller but she won't think about college just quite yet proclaiming, "Jesus can take your life away like that." She has not decided on a certain college she wants to attend, not even a high school. Her dad, Greg Nared, a Maryland University graduate moved to Seattle to be the assistant coach for girls' basketball at UCONN. So Jaime's options are between Seattle Prep and Westview.

            Seems like so much for such a young girl has to deal with but Jaime catches on fast. She's been playing basketball since she was four, and has already appeared on Good Morning America. Growing up, Jaime was always extremely taller than everyone in her class and she was made fun of for it. Some kids called her "Shrek" and "Godzilla". Even with the teasing Jaime wants to be taller than she is. She is hoping to be an astounding 6'4-6'7 when she finally stops growing.

            Her height gives her a slight advantage on the court but when she loses she is not a happy child. Jaime is very competitive and when she doesn't pull out a win she says "It makes me angry and makes me want to play that person again and I think of all the things I should've, could've and would've done." When she wins she is like a blazing star and many younger kids already think of her as an idol. Jaime feels "great. It's inspiring and sweet," when these kids want to be like her.
            Well it's sweet to be an amazing athlete. Not only does Jaime fight hard on the basketball court, she loves to play a couple other sports too. Jaime really likes to play golf and according to Magen M. "She's great at golf too." Another sport Jaime might consider playing professionally is tennis but only because they make more money than WNBA players.
            Which ever way Jaime Nared decides to lead her life, the world will watch her name go down in history for something extraordinary, we just don't know for what, yet.
