Jae Heller, frequent golfer at a local country club and small business owner. 

"I started golfing a long time ago with my father, all the men in my family teach each other how to play golf. That was one of the biggest things I missed during the pandemic, but it ended up working out in the end because I have been better about seeing old friends. Golf is an especially great way to get involved with friends after a long time. I feel like golf is the three-in-one for men, a social setting, a game, and mental training. I think it's a great game. and I am thankful for it."

Raegan Kirkland is a junior exercise science major at Georgia Southern University. 

"I try to walk Luna every morning and evening. She is a Pembroke Welsh corgi and is a year old. I am pretty sure I got the wrong dog. Luna doesn't have any colorings from the puppy I originally chose. Although she may not be the dog I initially chose, I wouldn't trade her for the world. We both have attachment issues. She will wait for me downstairs to get home and I always worry about her when we are apart."
