I feel like there's just so much at Michigan that like when you compare it to other schools , it's so hard to turn down all the opportunities you could have here . I think a big thing that I did when choosing colleges , I made a pros and cons list for every school and I took my sport out of the question . I took gymnastics out of it and I made a pros and cons list for academics , career center stuff , mental health resources , all the things that don't involve sports because at the end of the day , you want to go somewhere that will have your best interests at heart , despite the fact that you're an athlete .
There's so many people to contact . I feel like there's just so much at Michigan that like when you compare it to other schools , it's so hard to turn down all the opportunities you could have here .

I was videos of my gymnastics just trying to get on their radar and kind of let them know that I'm here and that I'm doing the sport and I want to do it in college . And then from there , I started calling coaches and just talking to them on the phone , getting to hear a little bit about their university , getting to tell them a little bit about myself and what I'm interested in and what skills I'm working on . And then from there , I started taking visits like most other people do .
And I think that's been a big thing that I had to learn coming in as a freshman . It's definitely takes a lot of time management skills to be able to balance being ad one athlete and also being at a school that's so high level academically . But one thing that I definitely do is rely on tutors if I need extra help , I'm not afraid to ask for it .
Everyone here is willing to help everyone is a resource . There's such a big alumni network . There's so many people to contact .
