  1. I really enjoyed reading this article about the achievements of fellow Baylor letterwinners. It’s inspiring to see how much impact they’ve had in their communities. I’m currently facing challenges with my college work and found that resources like paperial can be of the great use for students who need to delegate their tasks to play football. Many thanks to all the letterwinners for their continued success.
