This experience is fairly recent, but was a very memorable experience. Getting recruited to play water polo at Bucknell was an eye opening moment as I had been playing since I was 9 years old. I also was never completely sure it was something I wanted to do, but getting recruited made me take a step back and evaluate what I had put into the sport and what that made me as an individual. I had been dedicated to the sport and had to make a choice to continue this dedication. I felt proud and rewarded as my dedication had achieved something bigger than the sport itself, also an opportunity to study at Bucknell.
