After spending
my freshman year at Monroe Community College where I studied business
administration while playing lacrosse, I transferred to SUNY Oswego. My
sophomore year at Oswego was filled with ups and downs while I changed my major
to Communications and endured the struggles of juggling the workload of a
four-year university as well as playing a Division III sport.
My sophomore
year of lacrosse did not turn out as well as I had planned. After becoming a
starter in the fall, I slid down the depth chart as spring approach. I was not
made aware of what actions I made that were incorrect and no one spoke to me as
to why this was happening. I ended up playing sparingly during the regular
season and played in critical games at times when the game was on the line
although I had not played with the starters all week during practice.
This fall, the
coach at Oswego informed me that it was time for the program to move in a
different direction. He convinced me that it was not due to a lack of effort on
my part, but rather that there was a large group of freshmen coming in and he
was building for the future.
Once I made the decision that I wanted
to continue my lacrosse career, I called Coach John C. Johnson here at St. John
Fisher College and he told me that I would be welcomed on the team. I shared my
excitement with him and let him know that I would continue to work hard and do
my best every day. Now that I am here at St. John Fisher College, I am excited
about the opportunities that both the school and lacrosse program have to offer
me.
