I know for me I did a lot of e
research and preparing before I went to school... so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into... I knew that the first year or two could be and would be bumpy...
If anything took me by surprise it would that I really didnt figure on getting hit on so much... I had two male trainers that just got wierd and wanted to get married and run team... and neither took rejection well...
