Favorite thing about being involved in sports: Making friends that will last forever, the brotherhood, challenging myself to be better every game or every shoot, and having fun with friends.

What I will miss about high school sports: Spending weeks with my friends training and hanging out, the competition, but most of all, the bond between players.

What living through the crisis has taught me: Nothing is for sure. Be thankful for what you had and that you had the opportunity to play high school sports. Never take anything for granted, and don’t blink because it’ll be over before you know it.
