Why did you chose Penn State-GA?

To be completely honest with you, before graduating high school I had a plan for myself. I was going to go to community college and get my degree in Psychology then transfer to a university. I never thought my basketball career was anything special, and I didn’t think I would get any offers. My coach saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. After weeks of contemplating, I accepted my offer from Penn State. I chose Penn State because of the community and an amazing coach, I feel welcomed and am certain that I am not only going to grow as an athlete but as a person as well. Penn State-GA builds character and I know there are people here that will bring the good out of me. I cannot wait to build friendships and relationships here at Penn State-GA.
