Being on the road for so long you become grateful for all the people along the way. Those who housed us were the biggest blessings, but meeting the players and seeing the sites was my favorite part. I am thankful that I was there for this journey for Natalie and Sherry because they definitely needed a support system these past few weeks.
Some of the things that I learned are: no matter how much you try to prepare, there will always be obstacles; working hard is something to always work on; and professional athletes do not always have everything handed to them.
This opportunity has given me a chance to learn and experience a lot of unique situations, and looking at a future career in Sports Management, I have gained useful knowledge.
On a side note, this last few weeks I have been waiting for hear back from a company about an internship with a wedding and event company. I am happy to announce that I have been chosen as one of their fall interns. The wedding season begins very soon and my schedule is getting full fast with internships, tennis, and school.
Even though the excitement about senior year has set in, I am going to miss being around the Pluskotas. We have experienced plane delays, traffic jams, tears, hating Canada, x-rays, MRI's, more tears, broken foot, late night clanning.. you get the message. They have been my second family for the past month and I am going to miss them and being able to talk to them everyday.
Thanks Pluskota Family for letting me into your home and being apart of the family for awhile. You guys seriously rock and I am so thankful to have experienced this all with you. Even though I said, I would change a couple things, honestly, there isn't anything I would change. You guys are an incredible family and work so hard for one another. I appreciate the hospitality you showed me and hope to continue to be apart of the family! I love all of you!
Till next time...
