“It’s bittersweet. Bitter in the sense that I’m leaving behind the club I was with for 10 years, and kind of just leaving my friends and family behind, which is difficult becauseit’s a place I’ve been comfortable my whole life and always had someone there to support me. Now, I have to expand my horizons. The sweet part is that it’s a new journey, steppingout of my comfort zone is going to be a challenge, but I think for me, having that challenge will help me find myself and mature in ways I never thought I’d have to.”
