"Spinning" out of my 1st year of college!

both emotions are valid when thinking about being already done with my first year of college!

Yesterday was my last spin class I taught of the semester, and it was epic. Becoming an instructor was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made; when I get on that bike, I am not afraid anymore. These riders are all looking up to me to give them a good workout, and all I feel is a deep gratitude to have this opportunity to give them just that.
​
There was one point in my class yesterday where I look up to all my riders in the studio and we are all pedaling to the beat of the music on the same foot. It was completely synchronized, and probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. That’s amazing-to see riders, staff, members of the Rec, all come together to ride and support each other for 45 minutes. I am so grateful for having a job that I absolutely love.

​This job position has been so much more than a cycling gig for me. It has been a growing experience where I learned to take courage and be myself. It showed me that there are going to be days where you just don’t feel motivated, yet you gotta take a breath and get in the mood for the 25 people coming to your class. It taught me that faking it till you make it can actually work when you mix endorphins and adrenaline with it. I learned the impact you can have on people by simply pursuing your passions.

My first year of college has been a lot of things, but if i had to describe it in one word, it has been “growing.” I have learned so many things in my classes, life, and faith that I never encountered before. I am eternally grateful for the life that was given to me with the choice in how I want to pursue it.

Time to take my last final at 8am! TCU, what a first year!
