“I went to a traditional four-year initially in my college career and it just didn’t work out. I wasn’t handling all of the things I needed to personally, so I think this has been the perfect reset for me in terms of having structure, getting up and doing things, having responsibilities, but also getting that freedom that going away from home gives you and just building that back up.”
