But a lot of things that scare me have transformed my life. Coming here scared me. Joining the [Gill St. Bernard’s] team scared me. Meeting my new family scared me. Doing things that scared me always gave me such a great opportunity to do well. I’m so nervous and so excited to go to UConn. I just care about it so much.”[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
