As excited I was about the next year to come, I also had a sense of sadness about leaving my family. Going to school only a half hour away from my hometown gave me the ability to make the quick drive home whenever I wanted to. I knew I could always count on seeing my family up in the stands at all my home games, or at grandmas for Sunday dinner. Although moving to another country was a scary step for me, I knew it was something I felt really passionate about.
I just want to take some time to thank my family and friends for supporting me through the years and with this new journey of mine. You all mean the world to me and I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. I also would like to thank Sport Changes Life and the Rory foundation for giving me this once in a lifetime experience. I’m looking forward to a year filled with adventures, new friends, and personal growth.
