Q: How did you adapt to life back at home during these times?
DC: During this time I have really been able to sit back and reflect on my life and my future more and the things that I need to do to reach my goal. I am always constantly pushing myself, and the quarantine just made me grind harder.
Q: How was it taking online courses this past semester, and did you feel you still excelled in classes?
DC: At first it was a lot to keep up with, but I ended up doing well and excelled in my classes. I take being a student athlete seriously, it is important that I set an example on and off the court.
Q:Â Did you learn any new skills or talents this past semester at home?
