A terrific story of perseverance with thoughtful insights for someone your age. It was especially powerful when you finally felt you could call yourself a fencer. You should be very proud of yourself—where you’ve come from and where you are going. Keep dreaming of what is ahead!

Emily, this is a really well organized article about college fencing. It is very different from all other fencing and has many benefits to the fencer using this format. I mentor fencers who want to go to university in the USA who live outside of the USA. They will find your insights helpful and inspirational. Thank you so much for putting this in writing. This is very well done.

Emily,
This is a great article. Lots of great info from the inside! And pretty awesome that you were one of the two qualifiers. Congrats! I would love it if you would write an article about the recruitment process. Do’s and Don’ts, when to reach out to coaches, etc.
