WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS Hopefully in 10 years I'll be a year or two out of graduate school for physical therapy. I'll still be in the National Guard, and I'll have a family of my own.
IN YOUR WORDS, HOW HAS COVID-19 AFFECTED YOU Covid-19 has really just affected my social and athletic life. It's kinda thrown me out of my set schedule. It feels like summer started but I just have a few things to do school wise a day.
WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST FROM THIS SEASON Mainly just the camaraderie with my buddies and my coach, but also the competition.
