Meet Brooke Powers!

Brooke Powers is mid-way through her first semester and has already learned so much. Brooke is from Coastesville, Pennsylvania, which is about two hours away from East Stroudsburg. She is majoring in Sports Management and looking forward to taking her major classes when she is finished with her General Education courses. Brooke knew she wanted to attend East Stroudsburg right after her first visit.  The campus and environment that she witnessed was exactly what she was looking for. She met three soccer players and automatically knew the rest of the girls would have that same crazy and fun personality. Brooke’s favorite part about being away from home is the independence she gained and ability to make decisions on her own. She has learned to use better time management and get her assignments done sooner rather than later. She mentions the transition was harder than expected, but has become more comfortable and has learned different things on the way. Her least favorite part about being away from home is the limited amount of time she spends with her friends and family. Although missing home can be hard, Brooke bonds with not only the girls on her dorm floor, but her teammates. She loves being a part of the team and getting to know everyone on a personal level. She mentions her favorite parts are the road trips to the away games. The bus rides are always an adventure and has a great time making new memories with the team. Brooke is looking forward to exceling as an ESU goalkeeper and also a student. Not only is being a student athlete and a full time student difficult, but Brooke is interested in joining the Sports Management club outside of all her other obligations. Good luck to Brooke!
