I decided to go to SUNY Cortland because I was recruited for gymnastics. Also, it has a very good sports management program and they\u2019re one of the tops in the nation. I am currently studying sport management with a concentration of facility and event management. My plans for the future are to be a personal trainer and a gymnastics coach on the side for higher level athletes. My parents are paying for the first year of school and I am paying for the rest through student loans. I have to pay for gas, food, and my rent comes out of my savings. I do have to work to cover expenses, and what I do is Instacart, personal training, and I work at a club gymnastics center in Syracuse. I work roughly 15 hours a week and three jobs total. College during a global pandemic was very mentally challenging because all of my classes were online while I was also working a full time job.\u00a0 Getting a college degree to me means that I am much more likely to get a job in the sports industry because people look for college degrees. I am kind of worried about paying back student loans. I do not receive financial aid. Based off of Cortland, I\u2019ve had a very good experience with my professors because they care about us, other professors have challenged me a lot because they don\u2019t care as much, especially after covid was over.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Abigail Bang.
