Coaching Basketball
Basketball
I played basketball competitively since 5th grade. I trained anytime I could to ensure that when I got to high school I would have a starting spot on varsity. I was weeks away from attaining my goal until I tore my ACL and meniscus in 2015. I followed that by breaking my foot in 2016. I started my junior year, but then one day before my senior year I got a severe concussion, whiplash, and a broken nose.
Through it all I still managed to gain the attention of division 1 colleges. However, I realized that I needed to put my health first and focus on myself. Giving up basketball was the hardest decision of my life, but the perspective I gained from all the battles I've faced will stick with me forever.
Losing the only thing I defined myself with led me to understand my purpose. It shaped me into who I am today.
Changing majors
A defining moment in my college career and the biggest life choice I have made so far is changing my major. I was very hesitant at first because I thought I was too far into my college career to make such a drastic change.
After talking it over with my parents I chose to make the choice that scared me the most. Sure changing majors as I was half way through college is scary, but it was also necessary. I have found a major that I am passionate about and look forward to learning about.
This has taught me that change, as scary as it may be, is also the best avenue for growth.
