IN YOUR WORDS, HOW HAS COVID-19 AFFECTED YOU: Very badly, it’s keeping me from my friends and not seeing my teammates. They made senior year my best year. When I came to this school in Febuary, everything changed in a good way. Everyone was super nice and included me in everything. I didn’t feel miserable, I felt like family there. My coaches inspired me so much that I loved softball! My coaches and teammates became family to me. My season last year of softball was crap and moving here made me so happy!
WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST FROM THIS SEASON: My coaches, teammates, and my friends that I made at Siloam. Also making amazing memories with all them.
