The following article is Simone's, "Souls of Brookdale," feature story: 

"Brookdale was only the beginning for me. It has opened up so many opportunities.I was in the Army National Guard for 8 years. When I came back from my deployment, I had to adjust to college mode. Being part of the soccer team motivated me to figure out a way to balance both. Being able to come out of my shell during my first year back was Coach Katie's objective from day one. She always said I was soft spoken but when it came time to play, she could always count on me to give it my all.After Brookdale, I got my bachelor's degree in criminal justice at Bloomfield College and was the captain of the soccer team for two years. I still find a way to keep soccer in my schedule because it's such a stress reliever.My journey is a reminder that we all have talents inside of us that we take for granted but if we believe in ourselves we can accomplish anything!" #SoulsOfBrookdale
