My first year of college was a waste. It was somewhere I didn’t want to be and I felt depressed. I was supposed to play basketball but I didn’t because of something that happen for my senior year of high school. So I wasn’t apart of anything or a community it was just me. The feeling of just being alone is the worst feeling ever. All the friends I had there were in a sport I was the only one who didn’t play a sport. It kind of got so bad to the point I had gave up on sports and I had stopped working out and trying to better myself. I always wanted to go home for no reason and I just stayed in my dorm playing my PlayStation because it wasn’t nothing else better to do. I would definitely say that last year was the roughest year for me as a person physically and mentally. I was so glad that Defiance College was still interested in me because initially I was getting recruited by them from my senior year of high school but my dad wanted me to go to Tiffin University.  When I first visited to Defiance College for basketball I already from the jump felt like I was a part of the community. Just the vibe that was coming from everyone who was around me. The basketball team which I am now currently on became my community. I have now been a part of this community for about 6 months and I have way too much love for all my brothers’ every last one of them. I literally spend every single day with all of them. We all eat together, hangout with each other twenty-four seven, not to mention practicing every day. We really don't do anything in particular it just we all just grew so close over the past couple of months to the point we all knew that it’s a brotherhood. Being away at school and with the guys everyday they pretty much like family, the way we look out for one another. It’s hard to feel down or alone because it’s always somebody there to make u laugh or smile and pick you up when you’re down. A community can be a group of people who come together and work together. They also look out for one another and its almost like a family or a brotherhood.
