Personal Statement
I am a dedicated student and I work hard in many rigorous courses. I have played volleyball for seven years now, both on school and club teams each year. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the gospel has played an important role in my upbringing. Both of my parents were born in American Samoa, and I am very proud of my culture. My dad got a full ride at San Jose State as an offensive right tackle, and I have benefited from his lessons and experiences he has shared with me. I have high standards and good morals thanks to being raised in a loving home where I have been taught to respect not only others, but myself as well. I am focused, self assured, vocal and highly competitive in the classrooms and on the court. I love volleyball, and I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to play and compete as a collegiate student athlete. I am looking for a college program that will both support and challenge me to reach my full potential. I promise that I am worth the investment on my journey to be a productive adult and a contributing member of society.
