Personal Statement
I started playing volleyball about five years ago and immediately fell in love with the sport. My parents have influenced me a lot throughout my life, including volleyball. I push myself to have good grades and be successful in order to have a great future, they taught me this. But overall I think the greatest influence as a player is seeing players that are better than me, because it just makes me fight harder to be better then them. To beat them. This has shown me commitment, and to never give up, to keep fighting and push through because it is all worth it in the end. Through volleyball I have learned how to work better with others because without teamwork you will get no where, I have also learned leadership through being a caption on my team.
Academically my goals are to be the most successful I can be, with getting good grades in high school and then getting into a good academic college along with volleyball. School is really important to me because I know how much it influences my future. I plan on keeping up my academics through high school and college. I know that I have the work-ethnic, strength mentally and physically, and leadership skills to be a good asset on your team!
