Hey Manny,
I don't know if you remember me, but I am Allison Shein, and
I used to play for Coach Evans' basketball team with Carly
Evans at Highlands Christian Academy. I just wanted to see
how you were doing and how everything was going at OneToOne
Fitness and if you were still doing well and staying as busy
as ever.
I graduated from Union University in May 2005 after four
amazing years there in school and sports (played volleyball
and softball). I had a blast, and sometimes I wish I was
back there playing college sports. We ended up competing for
the first time ever for our school in NAIA Nationals in
volleyball and got to go to the national tournament in
California which was fun. I ended up graduating magna cum
laude and getting into UM. I am presently in my second year
at University of Miami medical school. I will be graduating
with my M.D. degree in May 2009 so only 2 and a half years
left!!! I will admit that since medical school I don't get
to work out as much as I used to or as much as I want to
since all I feel like I do is study like 24/7. But I do
still work out about three times a week and try to keep up
with running also. And I do still get over to Highlands
about once a week to play basketball or whatever sport is
going on with my sister's team. She is involved in all the
sports I was and also hopes to play in college.
Life flies by! I just wanted to
check in and say hi. And to thank you for all you did for
the girls teams at Highlands. I learned a lot from you in
regards to training as well as hard work, determination, and
never letting anyone tell you that you can't do it. I was
told all through high school that I would never make it in
college athletics at a competitive school because I was too
short for volleyball and I was not good enough to compete at
that level. But I made it. And I succeeded...I even played
for two years in volleyball with a girl who was the number
one player on the Kenyan Olympic volleyball team! |
