WHY I AM SHIP WORTHY

Rebecca Masterson

Skills I learned before I came to ShipI was part of my local 4-H group, high school cross country team, swimming team, and worked part time.

These activities kept me active and taught me a lot about myself. They taught me to work hard for what I want and gave me courage and strength.

As my Cross Country coach would say to us on race days “give it 110% today girls”.

I couldn’t have done it without supportNo matter how hard it got I always had an awesome support system of my family, friends, and coaches.

To this day they all have my back.

Whenever any of us just didn’t want to put effort into something, my Swim Coach would just say…

“Suck it up and get in the water or I will add to your practice”

Trust me she would. But it taught me to put effort into everything I do.

My time at Ship so far…I was the only one in my area to come to Shippensburg. I entered Ship head on by myself.

Not knowing anyone made me put myself out there. I went to activities, participated, and was open to new things. All the skills I have gained with my sports, 4-H, and even work paid off.

Before you knew it I was making friends and getting used to things. Before I knew it Shippensburg felt like home.
