- What does the experience of being a Penn student-athlete mean to you?
Being a Penn student athlete to me means the ability to acquire life-skills that a few others before me have acquired. This is because being a part of such a prestigious academic institution and then being able to represent it while playing the sport I love are not only accomplishments to be proud of, but life skills to take into account in the future.
