The ambition and determination of the team both academically and athletically is something that I can’t wait to be part of. From across the world, attending this prestigious university is something that I could only ever dream of, and now that dream has come true! I can’t thank my coaches, family, and friends enough for supporting and encouraging me every step of the way. Go Tigers!!”
