Although it may not be face-to-face, I’ve had the chance to talk [during the stay-at-home order] with a lot of people I’ve grown up with my whole life and reminisce about the time we had at PR.

I’m going to miss being able to see my best friends every single day. I’ve grown up around these people for so long and have made a lifetime of memories with them.

I’m most proud of my football team over these past years. Nearly 12 years ago, we set out for a goal and place we wanted to be when this all came to an end. Needless to say, we got nearly everything we could want, and I can say I made some of the greatest memories in my life with them.

I want to be remembered as someone who others can look up to and aspire to be. I want people to realize that you choose your destiny and you can make whatever you want of these four years if you set your mind to it.

I’m excited to meet a new group of people that come from a totally different background. I want to venture out and surround myself with people who have similar passions as I do in a totally new setting.
