AUSTIN (KXAN) — When a college student first moves from home and often becomes more independent, there can be some adjustments. For Rhasidat Adeleke, a major adjustment came when doing laundry.
“I called her on the phone and I was like ‘What buttons do I press?'” Adeleke said about a conversation with her mother. “I was in Target and was like ‘What detergent should I get?’ And she realized how spoiled I was at that moment.”
Like learning how to do laundry, the standout track athlete also became much more confident racing over her time at Texas.
