Life Update SUMMER 2021

“Experiments are necessary for the experiences that create growth and new opportunities.” What a year 2020 has been. 2019 ended with me stepping away from being the Griz Basketball manager to leading the UM Advocates as a Co-coordinator, which has been a joy! I was able to devote my time to the group that helped me find myself, push my boundaries, and expand my way of thinking! I was lucky enough to travel to Las Vegas for a conference the week before Covid shut everything down, and learned very quickly how hard it is to learn from home, stay involved in my observation with a local elementary school, and also how much I relied on social interaction in my life. I think I can speak for all of us when I say it was a hard adjustment that I am still learning to navigate.

What was a few of the things that made 2019 memorable for you? Let me know in the comments below! 2019 has been one of the best yet most challenging years in my life.
