AKRON, Ohio - We continue updates from across the country and the world in what we like to call Postcards from The Zips. Up next, from men's soccer is Akron sophomore Jaden Wright (Lorain, Ohio).
Â
First off, are you and your family doing well?
Yes, we are doing great.
Â
Where are you currently?
I'm in Lorain, Ohio.
Â
If you went home, talk about the importance of having your family around as we went through quarantine?
Having family around during this time has been very important for me.
Â
Can you describe what it has means to be a Zip, especially during this time?
It means a lot to be a Zip, especially now being away from campus, as we still have to hold ourselves accountable and maintain a high standard.
Â
How are you feeling knowing that you'll be back on campus soon?
Excited, I can't wait to get back.
Â
Discuss your feelings as the events were occurring that ultimately led to the cancellation of spring sports and you returning home or quarantining in Akron?
I was shocked, I wanted to finish our spring season.
Â
What are some of the things you have been doing lately to maintain and/or build your fitness for the anticipated return of sports this fall?
Lots of running, Tim (Campbell), our strength coach, has been sending us workouts for us to do.
Â
What are some shows or movies that you have enjoyed watching while in quarantine?
Outer Banks and Ozark
Â
What was your favorite class you took this past year or during your time at Akron?
Psychology with Professor Tang
Â
Discuss your communication with your teammates around the world and back here in Ohio during this time?
We talk on zoom a few times a week.
Â
Is there a lesson(s) that you have learned during quarantine that will help you as we move forward towards the new normal with the return of classes and sports?
Not to take anything thing for granted.
