October 9, 2015 -- First day at Occidental College, and the normal first day jitters were present. Before I started, I was interviewed and was able to meet my mentor and some of the athletic department staff. Everyone was so nice, and I could not help but feel the family atmosphere in the department, which certainly helped ease my transition into the first day. My mentor, Mike Wells, is the Assistant Athletic Director and also an Assistant Coach on the basketball team. He introduced me to the Head Coach, Brian Newhall, who was a former student-athlete at Oxy, and is a member of the school's Hall of Fame. I have a background in basketball, but for this mentorship, I would like to provide assistance and learn about all of the varsity sports. This will help me gain a better understanding of the whole process in all the sports.
