“I can say Journie was probably my first friend I made coming to Andrews,” Monk said. “She’s been a really big help getting me through stuff. We both have similar interests.”
“I like having [Shamayra] as a teammate because she pushes me and I push her and we push each other in a way that I feel like it, strengthens our friendship,” Barr added. “Then in band we get to play together, have fun.”
