Support systems are a must. Regardless of whether the people are still a constant in your life or not, they all teach you something and have an impact on you. Similar to the Building a Community episode, these people you surround yourself with are to be picked carefully. Although some may seem great at first, things change, people change, so it is okay to move on from people. There does not have to be bad blood. Family, friends, teammates, etc. are going to help you in various ways. Personally, the support systems I have surrounding me are a safe space that I can be completely vulnerable in because I know I am not being judged or talked about, which in college is huge. 

To all of my friends, family, former teammates, coaches, mentors, etc., thank you for helping me. 

To those who I have not spoken to in awhile, thank you, and I wish you success.
