Being a Part of a Team

Teamwork makes a dream work. It is hard to believe that just four months ago, I did not know a single person on my team. Now I not only consider these girls teammates, but family, my sisters away from home. We have all been through a lot together these past few months that has bonded us together forever. Pushing each other through practice, to helping finish schoolwork. Laying in bed for hours laughing and talking getting to know each other, and yet being there for each other when we have needed a shoulder to cry on.

It is so hard to believe that five of these girls will not be back on the field with us next year. Each person on our team brought a different quality to the team whether it be the funny joke, or heart warming story. Coming from three different countries, and eleven different states, we have a wide variety of people coming from various backgrounds, yet everyone gets along as if we have known each other for years.

Being part of this team has been such an enjoyment for me. I thought I would be homesick because of going so far from home, but the girls have made Memphis my new home. If it wasn't for all their love and respect they have given me, I don't know if I would still be here, but because of them, coming to Memphis was the best decision I could have ever made.

I am glad you ended up liking Memphis and I think that playing with a team in college would make the experience of it so much better. Good luck with the off season and next year.
