I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m halfway done with college. It’s very overwhelming, to say the least, and bittersweet. I’m ready to get into the workforce and make real money for a real business, but I’m totally not ready to give up seeing my friends daily and making memories. Reflecting back on my sophomore year, I’ve done so much! I’ve worked a ton with Admissions and Sports Information, made it through another year of school and was involved in many important club decisions and events. Most importantly, I’ve made numerous memories and that’s what I want to share. Below are pictures solely from my sophomore year experiences. Enjoy!

Some of my closest friends! I really liked this picture taken after one of my baseball games.

My first college spring trip! We went to Myrtle Beach and I hit my first college grand slam, and I was named our conference’s hitter of the week from this trip!

I had the chance to speak in front of about 2,800 people for Walk Into My Future! The crowd was mostly elementary kids, but other Manchester students, faculty and staff were present. We also had Manchester’s own President Dave McFadden and the YMCA President!

Meet Wabash, Indiana’s INGUARD CEO Parker Beauchamp. I was able to bring him to campus for Manchester’s CBC’s On-Campus Field Trip. I got to chat with him a little before and after he spoke to our business students about his business career and gave us business advice.

Here’s another picture of my friends and me. We sent this picture to a Manchester donor! With the pose and polaroid film, it’s cliché of course, but I still had to make sure we kept a copy!
