Senior Reflection: Sydney Henderson


My experience at The Mount has been a great five years. Long ago before I knew about this school, my mother used to tell me that I would end up at this school. I would constantly tell her, “No I'm not; I don't even know what school that is.” What do you know? I ended up here for a wonderful college career.

    Being given the opportunity to play college basketball and to be so healthy after an ACL surgery is truly a blessing. I have met many people and have made life-long friends. Everyone that has walked into my life has made an impact in some way that has helped me grow as a person. My injury has also helped me grow as a person. Seeing things, not only on the basketball court, but off the court in a different perspective has molded me into the woman I'm becoming today. Having the ability to complete two degrees (Bachelor’s Degree in  Sports Management and Master’s of Business Administration) is something that I will be forever grateful for. I want to thank Coach Whitt for giving me the opportunity to play for him and develop into the player and person I am today.

    It has begun to hit me that I'm really graduating and leaving behind a place that I called home for five years. I can say that if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would choose The Mount.

Thank you God, family, coaches and teammates for supporting me through it all.
