Hello my name is Gracie Russell, and my statement has been approved by Nelson. It is attached below along with my headshot. My name is Gracie Russell, and I am from Woodhull, IL. I am currently a freshman on the Women’s Golf team at UD. I have enjoyed building new relationships with friends, staff, and teammates. For me maintaining a positive attitude has helped me with my mental health not only with golf, but with academics as well. One thing that I have improved is the mental side in golf. Being able to go day to day and stay positive and happy has helped tremendously with my mental health. One thing that I like to do is take time to myself and take a breath, when I am feeling overwhelmed. When I have good mental health, it makes everything in my life easier. I am excited about what the future holds and how UD can help me succeed on the course, in the classroom, and as a person.
