Longwood College
April 16, 2011
Longwood College now called Longwood University is located in Farmville, VA. It was a 4 hour drive from my home in Baltimore which was the perfect distance for me. I was close enough that if I needed to, I could go home. But I was far enough, that I couldn’t go home all of the time. I had a fantastic time in college and often wish I could go back! I understand those people who chose to skip school. I am a big believer that no one knows the right choice except for that individual, but college was great and I would not trade my time there for all of the riches in the world. I was 1 of 6 incoming freshman on the Longwood golf team. My very first tournament at our home course I started 3-3-3…Birdie, Eagle, Par. I was on my way and my game really blossomed. We had our own golf course and I would go early and practice on my own before our organized practice. Farmville was a small town with not much to do-so I was either playing and practicing or enjoying the social aspects of college life. I graduated cum laude in 4 years with a degree in Business Administration with a Finance concentration. Leaving campus that day, I knew things would never be the same.
