Upon arrival, I met with two student workers. I was surprised that they were able to run a program at this level, and immediately wanted to offer my abilities to the university. I had a difficult time transitioning to college, without the same people consistently in classes and without basketball, the sport that I had played all my life.
Originally, signing up for intramurals was a way to cope with the stress of college, but also to experience my previous passion once more. I did not know that joining Recreation and Wellness would give me an opportunity to be a part of an accepting community that would provide comfort and a way for me to assist St. Edward’s University.
