 As we move along through our first couple weeks of class, school can get very stressful and frustrating. There are many thoughts that go through my mind during the first couple weeks of class such as what books I need to get, how hard each class will be, how will I manage my time between school and my social life.

I received honorable mention all-conference my freshman year, but I want to keep progressing my game and getting better. There are concerns however about Covid.
