My friends and some professors at Macalester are a second family to me.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
I think the apples rotting right to the core from all the things passed down from all the apples coming before I split the apple down symmetrical lines and what I find is kind of scary makes me just wanna drive drive drive drive.
