Personal Statement
I became very interested in volleyball when I was about 13 years old, but hadn't actually started playing competitively until the start of high school. Since I have played many sports throughout my life, this was one sport I became so intrigued by simply because I had the height and coordination, I loved it instantly. Since I began playing volleyball, I have learned how to pick my team mates up when they are down, be a leader, and work harder than I ever have before to play in college within the four years that high school gives me. My academic goals for high school is to of course graduate and be as involved as I can be inside and out of the classroom, I wish to excel in everything I take part in. In college I want to find my passion and succeed within my major even though I am not sure what exact field I want to study in, I know I would like to study abroad. I have had to overcome the obstacle of coming into the sport pretty late and not with much experience coming into it. I have been focusing on this sport ever since the start of my freshmen year and pushed myself, with extra training and learning all skills I possibly can in the years leading up to college. Unique characteristics I believe I possess would be, that I am very coachable and can grasp concepts quickly. I have fallen in love with this sport and believe playing in college will do me much justice while getting an education would be an amazing experience to have for my future.
