'' 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.

'' 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! ''
