College?

As I mentioned before I now live in Kansas and am going to KU. If future me came to me two years ago and said "You are going to school in Kansas" I would have laughed and said no way will I ever do that.Obviously future self was right. In April 2020 I committed to continue my acedemic career and athletic career at KU!

I remeber the first time I got an email from KU, I had no idea this was even a school. Like the blue and yellow jayhawks, what in the world?! My parents had their money on this school from the first day i got an email, but I always put it on the backburner. I didn't know much about the school so I had no desire to come here. I toured four other schools and one by one they all fell off. By january of 2020 I was down to only the University of Utah. My dream was to go to the U becuase it was close to home, my mom went there, i was raised with red in my vains, and I was comfrotable with the situation I would be put in. Everything lined up. But, of course I can't just make that big of a decision alone, so I asked my mom and she sent me to thearpy lol... I made a pros and cons list of staying in state. Surprisingly the cons outwieghed the pros and I thought " Crap! now what" So, I revisited the idea of KU. I began exploring the school, the town, and the team. I kept going in between here and Utah so I was going to take a visit, but then covid happened. This made it so I couldn't visit at all. April hit and I needed to make a decision. I chose here with a lot of faith behind it. I didn't know the team, school,let alone the state. But, I had prayed and prayed and this is where i felt like i needed to be.

So far I am still trying to find why I had that feeling, but I am gald I followed it. I know I have a purpose here and Heavnly Father has a plan for me, but there is still a lot more that needs to happen. When I first got here, I had many breakdowns about how I know if I am doing what is right for me, if I am strong enough and if I will be okay. I have realized there are so many "What Ifs" in life and if i live everyday thinking about those, the less faith I have in God. I kinda just have to put it in his hands and do what my best is every single day. I have grown already and have so much more I will learn.

Hopefully most of my posts after this one will be more fun and shorter!
