Have you ever made a drastic decision that could change the entire outcome of your life? If so you can relate to me and my college decision. I knew making the decision to play at Providence College for the next four years of my life would be life changing, for the simple fact that it's 14 hours away from home (Charlotte, North Carolina) and I'd be up here all by myself. But the main reason I made my decision was because of the love I got from the coaching staff and the players. So I knew that once I got here it wouldn't be exactly home but it would be pretty close to it. I have talked to many college coaches and I know that the staff we have here is not your ordinary coaching staff, it's more like a supportive family pushing you to do your best so that you can be the best. Not only that but I am convinced that I have the best teammates in the world, it's like we all understand each other. There are people here from all over the world and we all are pretty understanding of each other making it easier for everybody to live day to day knowing that you're not the only person living far from home. I will admit it has been pretty tough trying to adjust to a new environment, and I knew when I made my decision that it would not be easy, but I also know that anything God sends you too he will send you through. So with a great support staff, some good teammates, and God on my side I don't have to worry about anything but working hard to be successful and graduating with a Providence College degree.

The decision I made to attend PC to play also had to do with me wanting to be a part of a new beginning, and so far we are making progress. I know it's still the beginning of the season but you got to start somewhere. If we continue to work hard and play together we will continue to have nothing but success.
