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.
Today's update on the women's golf team comes from senior Amanda Lee (pictured on left).

For freshmen Makayla Sanchez (right) and Christina Hartley (middle), who are both from California, adjusting to virtual college has had its challenges, but both have been able to adapt and make the most of the experience |
|
|
Makayla wakes up at 5 a.m. everyday so she can take her classes synchronously, and even woke up at 4:30 a.m. to register for classes for the spring semester. |

|
In addition, the California wildfires were getting very close to her house, but they are now under control, so she is very optimistic about school and home! |
|
|
Christina has been trying to get involved on campus in different clubs and earned a new position as VP of Operations for the Entrepreneurship Society and is working to make connections with her professors, despite being virtual. |
|
|
In her free time, she plays Torrey Pines every week and tries to maintain a balanced schedule between class, homework, and getting some fresh air. |
|
|
As a senior, I have been having an unusually busy semester keeping busy with classes, Athletic Council, and Relay for Life. |
|
|
Adjusting to virtual college has been very difficult, but I am making the most of it and trying to finish the year strong before studying for the CPA Exam and starting my job next fall. |
