– Thank you Alex, hey everybody. I applied to UNT and about 50 other schools with no knowledge of UNT or the quality of the athletic program, but it was coach Akers, thoughtful and personalized approach that won me over. He also set the precedent of the kind of supportive people within the athletic department and throughout UNT campus. Being a student-athlete is challenging between driving school and practice. You also need time management skills and the ability to work under pressure, but most importantly, it is making sure we have time to refuel and take care of ourselves. Being thousands of miles away from home and thrown into a whole new culture, took a little while to get used to. But everyone here has been so supportive and shared me so many helpful resources. With the amazing support system here, I was able to settle in quickly. UNTS championship athletic teams I call them Mean , and you can really feel that Mean Green pride throughout campus. With people wearing , throwing out the claw and filling Apogee Stadium during football games. With 16 division one teams and over 130 conference championships, you can see what my fellow student athletes like to call you UNT our home. My three years representing UNT on and off the golf course has pushed me to achieve many of my goals. I won my very first conference title and went on to win my next post season event, while setting a personal scoring record. Through the amazing events and experiences here, I have grown so much as a person and a golfer, helping me take my game to the next level. That’s my story, and back to you, Alex.
– So cool, being a student-athlete is so challenging and being that you’re also from Malaysia makes your story even better. You have a special community here and we all can’t wait to see you on the tour. Good luck Audrey and take care.
