Kaliyah has had a hell of a first year. She has learnt the events. She went through the process of the freshman curve. What I call the freshman curve? When she actually got punched up a few times before she started to throw punch). It was a very meaningful year for her. Kaliyah learnt alot through the freshman journey and I am definitely looking forward to an even better second year from her. To be honest, she has yet to even touch the ceiling.
