adjusting, but I eventually blended in with the family. I quickly started enhancing my academic performance while

juggling other interests. I played football competitively and dedicated some of my time to the sport, which helped me

get on the school's football team.

I feel that everyone of us dedicated many hours of training to pushing ourselves beyond our boundaries and supporting

each other through every success and setbacks ,whether in sports or in academics. This season lets allow us to push ourselves

to new heights.Let us challenge ourselves to excel not only as athletes but as people who exhibit respect, resilience and
