HOW HAS BEING A BEARCAT SHAPED YOU AS A PERSON AND A LEADER?
and supported to lead from a position of humility, which was a struggle for me prior to being a Bearcat.
HARVINA: I am thankful and feel very honoured to have the opportunity to be a captain for the women's basketball team. Being a Bearcat has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. It has absolutely shaped who I am today. Being a Bearcat has allowed me to embrace and reveal my real and most authentic self. The relationships I have made with my teammates and coaches have allowed me to feel safe and encouraged to be uniquely myself. Bearcats have given me a family when I needed it the most and I will forever be grateful. By allowing me to become my most real and authentic self, the Bearcats have also caused my leadership to evolve in a more authentic way as well. I now feel free
SARAH: My first year as a Bearcat I remember hearing at the athlete's retreat this idea of pursuing excellence in every area of our lives. Pursuing excellence meant doing everything to the best of one's ability. This idea has stuck with me these past few years and I look to pursue excellence in every area of my life, including my relationships, my studies, and my sport. Being a Bearcat has also provided me with a community that constantly supports and encourages me to never give up, to always maintain a positive attitude and effort, and to lead others by example.
