6. Why did you chose DCTC and what you are excited about in the coming 2 years:

I chose DCTC because they had what I was looking for in a college, which was my degree (interior design) and smaller class sizes, to have a lower student to teacher ratio. Why I also chose DCTC is because of the location of the college. I am very excited to be able to keep playing the sport that I love, and to continue to grow as a player. I know that with the help of Coach Jen I will be able to continue to further my playing ability.
