It’s true what they say about your entire life coming to an end on a random Friday. It doesn’t feel real that I’ll never get to go to practice, put on a uniform, or play this sport ever again. Hanging up the cleats and retiring number 13 was a time that felt so distant, but I blinked my eyes and that time was right in front of me.

But from my four years here, something nobody can ever say I wasn’t, was loyal. I stayed and so many questioned why. Through the tear filled phone calls to my parents, feeling like a practice body, unplayed games, and the constant weight of feeling like I’m not good enough…I stayed. I wanted so badly to make my parents and little Abby proud; to say that all of the hard work and sacrifice was worth it. I worked my butt off and gave everything with no reward. There were so many times where I also questioned why I stayed. I didn’t fulfill that dream of starting on a college team, but I learned something so much greater; that purpose isn’t found in what I can do, it’s how I show up for others. I wasn’t a starter but I was a teammate, I was always there for my girls, to support and uplift them. And thank you to those girls who poured back into me and made this sport worth playing when I didn’t feel like showing up.

There’s a reason why God calls you to places; maybe not for the reason you had wanted but for reasons you needed. He answered prayers that I didn’t even know I prayed. He’s blessed me with love, life long friendships, an education, a passion, and the ability to separate my identity from my sport. I learned that I am so much more than what I can do on a field. From the first visit I ever took I knew I was meant to be at HSU, and while the whole reason I came here didn’t pan out how I wanted, I gained so many more amazing things in my four years here. I found my sisters and future bridesmaids. I didn’t get to leave it all out on the field one last time and I will grieve the loss of this sport for the rest of my life, but it was only a small part of such a big life I’ll get to live. 13 years could never feel long enough. Thank you for giving me a purpose for so long, now it’s time to find a new purpose.
