WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SOUTHEASTERN AND THE LADY FIRE PROGRAM? "If I have gained one thing from SEU volleyball it is confidence. I learned to not only have more confidence in myself and in my thoughts, but also confidence in my God and what he is doing and planning for my life. As Terry always says, 'Pick a new thought'.”
