However, a Division 3 school called Western New England College had responded and was willing to let me play in the Fall, but with no guarentees. They weren’t located too far from home and had the engineering program that I was looking for so I decided to go for it. I knew it was going to be tough to make the team, let alone start, but I really felt that if I played my best it would be possible. So I gave it my all.
