I remember in 10th grade I came across my first Odyssey article and immediately knew that this platform was special. Flash forward to college decision day when I decided to be a part of the UGA Odyssey community, instantly making 20 friends with similar goals and interests as me. This platform gives writers the freedom to convince, inform and tell stories that deserve to be heard. Originally from Long Island, New York, and traveling over 800 miles for college being a freshman at the University of Georgia is intimidating at times; however, I can always turn to the UGA Odyssey Community for love and support. I plan on pursuing a double major in both journalism and sport management and hope to use this platform to not only share my story but also share other people's stories that deserve to be heard.
