1st post!

Today I've decided to write my first post (well not really decided. I just realized it is due Today) that will involve me talking about literally anything, and everything that comes to mind. I guess I'll start with why I'm at Marquette and how it came to be.

My road to Marquette is kind of random, and different, but I’m incredibly glad that I got here. The only reason I heard of Marquette was because of lacrosse. I play for the inaugural varsity Marquette Women's Lacrosse team, which I’m very proud of. I'm very excited, and blessed to be a part of the program. I was headed to a completely different school at the end of my senior year of high school. I was planning on attending a state school in Minnesota, and playing soccer there, but with an unfortunate end to my senior lacrosse season, I just didn't want to stop. With plans all set to go to my other school, my coach and my family began looking for schools that I could play lacrosse at. My coach had heard that Marquette was building a program and helped me out a ton. My high school lacrosse team fundraised enough money for myself and another aspiring D1 lacrosse player from the town over, to fly out to New York to play in the national tournament. Because of that experience, I was able to network with another player who was set to play lacrosse at Notre Dame. I told her I wanted to play, but didn't know where, and she recommended me to current coaching staff. In the summer before my freshman year of college, I signed to play lacrosse for Marquette. My path to Marquette was not ideal, but I'm so glad I was led here. I've been given so many amazing opportunities that I would not have received had I gone elsewhere. I'm excited for all the things in store for myself and especially for my team.
