My Story

In this episode, we take a look at how being a student-athlete translates to life after graduation. We analyze what it is like to come into a college as a transfer during the pandemic while playing a sport. Bonding with a team and finding comfort in the school can be very difficult while facing a global pandemic. With all these challenges they can begin to cloud your decision-making and cloud your true feelings for the school and playing the game. Karson gives us an insight into what it was like to persevere through those hardships and what it is like to look back and reflect on her journey through Union College. She shares what it is like to weight school, and sports on her back while finding a way to succeed.
