In this story, we hear Josie, a 19-year-old FIU student, speak about a major change she made in her life. She explains how she went from a university volleyball player, to leaving the sport to accomplish her life goals in becoming a lawyer. We hear how her move has impacted her, and how she gained motivation to transfer from her friend. Her friend in Connecticut had left the sport to follow her academic dreams. When Josie saw that her friend could do it, she believed that she could do it too. Josie gained the motivation and strength to transfer to a university almost a thousand miles away to accomplish her dreams and pursue pre-law here at FIU, where she is now much happier, and striving in the new environment.
