DEAR BASKETBALL,
As a young child, basketball was never my dream sport. When I was a senior in high school, I realized that basketball was the sport I wanted to pursue. I decided I wanted to take basketball seriously.
My senior year in high school, I had to make a big decision to leave my family back in Hawaii and play my senior year in high school in Virginia, where I knew absolutely no one. When I moved to Virginia, I stayed with a host family for the year and continued my senior year, where I worked to get a scholarship. At the end of the year, I got what I worked for, which was a scholarship.
For two years, I continued my education and basketball career at a junior college, South Georgia Technical College. After those two years, I transferred to Texas Tech for my junior and senior years. With COVID happening throughout my time at Texas Tech, I was able to get another year back and continue my Grad year here at the University of Utah.
