For this weeks Photo-blog, our theme was friends and family, and telling a story. I chose my friend Anastasia Yankovskiy, who is a high level fencer (the one on the right). Her story is a very visual one, because her struggle as a student athlete can be symbolically shown through her fencing. She’s currently doubling down on practicing to be able to compete on the national team globally. This is one of the local events she went to to increase her rank.
