College Basketball During a Pandemic
Description (Dublin Core)
Amidst this pandemic my college has been able to give me some sense of normalcy for my freshmen year of college. I was blessed with the opportunity to be able to go play college basketball at a small NAIA school in the middle of Kansas. So far this year I was able to start my season on time and we haven't had any run-ins with Covid other than one of our games was rescheduled due to the other team having a positive case but it has been my anchor though this semester. Everything is so strange now but I know as soon as I stepped on the basketball court everything melts away for those 2 hours. We don't have to wear masks around each other because we have created our own little bubble to protect each other and for that I am so so so thankful for. Like I said earlier basketball has kept me grounded. I moved 7 hours from home and going to college is stressful enough but moving 2 states away as a freshmen in college and during a pandemic?? Now that's stressful. Without basketball I would have dropped out of my school by now. This sport has kept me going because I know it is a safe place for my mind to let go of the stress that has built up these last few months and for that I thank God for protecting my team, school and conference from Covid-19 so we could have a somewhat normal season.
