Receiving the support from my tennis teammates when I lost in tough matches and celebrating with them when I made an unrealistic comeback. I realized the team was like my second family and the match is not over until the last point is played.

Be open to stepping outside of your comfort zone, trying out new experiences, and meeting new faces. The person you become after graduation stems from the memories you have from these next four years of your life. Enjoy the journey, and never be afraid to seek help!

Exploring new areas to understand the culture. I am always eager for a new adventure! I am also passionate about nature conservation, shopping local, and advocating for mental health awareness.
