After leaving Jamestown I find it fitting to start a Blog, especially with the adventures I have before me with MyFIght and teaching English in South America. With that said, I know I will have a hard time leaving this place behind. I came to Jamestown an athlete and I left a student of life. Sounds corny, I know, but it’s the truth.
People always asked me, “Why Jamestwon?” after hearing I come from beautiful Bozeman. My answer was always athletics, but the question should really be “What keeps you coming back?” My answer to that would be the atmosphere and the people. I came here because I wanted to be college athlete, but in the process I found out more about myself than I thought was possible. I now have the tools in life to succeed in anything I might want to do, whatever that may be. Something amazing for someone as lost in dreams as me.
As for the is the people. The people I have met here have had huge impacts on my life. I don’t know what I would do without my friends and family that I’ve acquired here. I know we’ve all had our ups and downs, but because of that I have grown in so many spectrums of life. So as I leave Jamestown I’d like to give a big thanks to all who have supported me in my random endeavors. To the professors who sparked and maintained my interest in so many random subjects, to teammates who pushed me to be a leader on an off the field, to coworkers who inspired me to be my best in everything I do, and to my friends who have been the shoulder to lean on and to bring on all my adventures.
This place has taught me more than anyone could expect, I am glad I ventured to where said I never would. It just goes to show, me at least, how important it is to step outside your comfort zone…. Now the real adventure begins with my first step (and wheel) my long open road….
