Owl Letters - Sami Williams

Collegiate athletics came to a halt in mid-March. With social distancing, remote work schedules and the inability to gather to cheer on our favorite teams, came a void. The void of seeing our favorite teams compete; the void of watching our favorite student-athletes grow and improve.
Florida Atlantic athletics recognizes that void and has seized the opportunity by providing an opportunity for fans to get to know the FAU athletes and coaches in a series called "Owl Letters." It is just one of the #WinningInParadise series that FAUSports.com will bring to you, our loyal fans.
Dear Softball,
Thank you. Thank you for being there for me the last 10-plus years of my life. Thank you for being my outlet when I'm sad, when I'm stressed, when times are tough. Thank you for giving me so many mentors, so many friends that I can now call my family. I know we've had some ups and downs, but I would never trade any of it for the world. This is not a goodbye; it's a see you later.Â
