'' I thought I would not be strong enough physically. I remember even warning my team that I might be a liability, but I proved myself wrong. Being selfless and learning to compromise is a huge challenge, especially for me. I am someone who prefer to do things on my own, but teamwork really does strengthen us. ''

'' Hi OBSA team! I just got back from a 3 day camp with Raymond Ackerman Academy at the Robertson venue. It was intense and was mentally, physically and somewhat emotionally challenging but nontheless I enjoyed every second of it and would not let the chance to do it again slip through my fingers! ''
