Lindsey had some positive and negatives experiences she had to face. One negative experience that stood out to her the most was not lettering her freshman year. Lindsey said,” I was disappointed not lettering my freshman year, but I overcame this by practicing constantly and working harder.” While Covid played an impact in trying to reach these goals that did not stop her from reaching her goals.
