The month of November is flying by! Can you believe we’re already half way through? It has been an extremely busy month for me, but with amazing experiences traveling all over Texas.
I flew out of Fresno International airport on November 1st with fellow student-athlete, Derek Oliver, to Dallas, Texas. Derek and I were chosen to attend the four day NCAA Leadership Forum as Fresno State Athletics representative’s. It was one of the best weekends of my life! I learned so much about myself and how to be a better leader while meeting life long friends. Derek and I are now planning a leadership conference to put on for the athletes here at Fresno State before we graduate.
We flew back on Sunday, November 4th and then just three days later, I was back in the Fresno airport with the Fresno State Equestrian team as we flew to Dallas, Texas for three competitions against Southern Methodist University, Baylor University, and Texas A&M University. It was a rough weekend score wise, but we all had a great time and learned a lot about our riding.
Now, I am preparing to fly out to Hawaii for a week long vacation to see a high school friend this Saturday. I am beyond excited to spend nine days catching up and relaxing before I head into my final semester of my under grad studies!
