 I'm Katie Abbott and I'm on the Stevenson women's ice hockey team. My major is chemistry. I love Stevenson because I love my team. Our teammates are our family, they're our rock. We see them every day, sometimes too much but they're definitely always there for you. Playing sports in college definitely requires a lot of commitment and we skate every day, we're in the gym every week and it just, you really learn how to balance every aspect of your life. Team management really plays a role in knowing what you're going to be doing this time of day and when you need to be doing this paper, doing this homework assignment and when you need to be spending time with your team. I would say the coaching staff really helps push you to really achieve your high academics and so they really are lenient and understanding about if you have class or you just need to spend some time on the bus doing homework. Another great thing about Stevenson is the classroom size. I love being on that level with my professors where I can go and talk to them in their office and they know you by your name. It's great. Stevenson is a great choice because they really promote their athletics here and not only that but they have a really career focused academics and it just really will help you in the long run. With all the opportunities that Stevenson has provided me with academically and on the ice, I couldn't imagine being anything other than a Mustang.
