Life on the Field

Transcript

We’re now going to introduce you to Karli, a senior biology major, who is also on the ABAC softball team. ABAC has great tradition in athletics, and Karli will tell us how she’s pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian while getting it done on the diamond. So, Karli, I’m throwing it over to you. You’re on.

– Nice throw, Alex. It’s a pleasure to be here. Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be a veterinarian. When it was time to pick a school, I wanted to find a college that would allow me to play softball and still pursue my dream. The coaches here at ABAC told me that I could do just that. When I came on a campus tour, I knew ABAC was home for me. Playing softball at ABAC has been one of the best decisions I have made this far in my life. From 5:00 AM runs, to singing at the top of our lungs on long bus rides and cheering on from the dugout, my teammates and coaches quickly became my family. Girls who were once strangers will now undoubtedly be lifelong friends of mine, thanks to this round yellow ball. The athletic teams here at ABAC are unlike any other, from baseball and golf, to tennis and cross country. You can always count on another Stallion to be cheering you on in the stands. One of the coolest parts about ABAC is that all of our athletic fields are located right next to one another. Oftentimes, we would cheer on the women’s soccer team while having afternoon practice. There’s no greater feeling in the world for a team than knowing that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. To say I am thankful that God saw fit for me to come to ABAC would be the understatement of a lifetime. Now, from all of the sports teams here at ABAC, heads up, Alex.

Whoa, I’m feeling the love from all of ABAC’s athletic teams. It is evident that the ABAC teams have found success in sticking together. I hope there’s plenty of room left in that trophy case. Great job, Karli. All right, y’all.
