The student-athlete experience at Lake Forest College is more than just practice and competition, and this year extends across the country and, in some cases, around the world. Forester teams are like families and their members support each other and the community in numerous ways.
This fall, student-athletes at the College are attending classes remotely, finding ways to keep in touch with one another, and continuing to be active and successful Foresters. The "Highlights from Home" series gives them an opportunity to share their experiences.
Senior Amanda Lee provides today's update on the Forester women's golf team.

We have started a practice plan put together by Coach O'Malley, so all of us are working to keep our golf games up to par! |

Members of the team have been busy with jobs this fall. Francesca Carney has been working part-time with an artist renovating homes and businesses. Jordan Trapp has been coaching the Lake Forest High School girl's hockey team and is working at Knollwood Golf Club with Grace Black, who is also coaching lacrosse and walking dogs. Christina Hartley works with childcare at her church and supervises volunteers who make lunches every week at a local shelter in San Diego. |

We've also been staying in shape as much as we can. I have been following various PopSugar Fitness videos that have been fun, filled with variety, and most importantly, challenging. Grace Black has been walking or running to Lake Bluff Beach before her classes. Makayla Sanchez has a job at a country club where she is able to work out. |

|
To stay connected, we have been meeting together on Zoom, and recently had a trivia challenge that Coach O'Malley put together. |

I had an internship this summer with Porte Brown, a local accounting firm where I will be working next fall. Makenzie Kamm has an internship at Advocate Aurora Health, where she gets to interact with patients of all situations and backgrounds and help them in any way by navigating the often confusing avenues of health care. |

|
So far classes have been going pretty well for everyone, and we are looking forward to hopefully returning in the spring! Makayla Sanchez and Christina Hartley are both in California, so they have been trying to adjust to the time change. In addition, Grace Black has been having tons of fun with her four-hour science labs! |

|
With a relatively new team, we are excited to return to campus, get to know one another, and be able to compete together and bring home some more first place finishes this spring! |
