NOTE: Ahead of graduation, we asked three seniors to reflect on their time at the University of Colorado. The first Buff featured is Antonia Balzert from tennis. From Germany, Balzert reflects on her time at CU, in her own words, going through a pandemic, heart break and the ups and downs of college tennis, only to come out stronger and tougher as a result. Toni's letter is below, and be sure to watch the video, as well.
Dear younger self,
As I write this, I want you to know that you are brave and strong, and that your journey is just beginning.
