I saw my friends whose parents were laid off and couldn’t afford the Lunchables that many of us had in our lunchboxes.

I have been going to Ball State University games since I was 10. I was born in Muncie and grew up in New Castle. Ball State has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, and I take great pride and passion in this school and our teams.
