I am Ireland Cofrancesco, a High Point University student in North Carolina. I am from and have always lives in a small town in New Jersey known as Sparta. I am the oldest of three children and grew up setting the bar high for my younger siblings. I played many sports growing up and competed on a national equestrian level. I grew up on a farm spending most days with my dad being his sidekick while working, driving all over the country, and bringing him to dialysis four times a week and sitting with him for hours. I also played four years of varsity basketball and help coach local younger teams. In 2017 I lost my dad to a heart attack and have been coparenting with my mom and continuing to follow my goals of being a doctor and making my father proud.
