Throughout my four years of Lake Central athletics, I have accumulated a plethora of experiences that have taught me lessons that I can carry with me forever. Coaches, teammates, and competitors have impacted me in ways no one else could, and I am thankful for their contributions to my existence.

school or going back to school after time off is whether to go to a university or stay home and go to community college. Although, community colleges and universities serve the same purpose, the two differ in ways a person should think about before making a decision.
