My name is Abraham Galicia, and I am a transfer student athlete who is excited for the opportunity that has been given to me. When I decided to come to the University of Dubuque, I came with goals of getting my degree and becoming a national champion wrestler. I can’t do this without focusing on my mental and physical health. These are important in meeting the challenges of excelling as a student and athlete, and in helping me stay mentally motivated. If I can focus on my health, then I can tell myself I can and then, I Will.
I am learning that taking care of your health allows you to have a good mindset. This provides balance in your life and helps you meet your goals. I encourage others to think of themselves, to have goals, and to be grateful for the opportunity to chase your dreams. Again, I am thankful that I can set and chase my goals, and that I have the resources and support to be healthy as I work to be a champion.
