Personal Statement
I was lucky to transition into a fiercely competitive high school program, coming from a small middle school volleyball team. The work ethic portrayed in the coaches and their team openly shows itself its success. During my threes years playing varsity, we have won regionals three times and gone to super sectionals, with winning records all three seasons. I battled some health issues and hospital stays in-season and it is likely I wouldn't have made the recovery I did without the love and support the team community gave me. Though we didn't make it to super sectionals this last season, I learned the value of team support and commitment to each other despite the losses.
Athletically, I believe I am a good candidate because of my positive character, leadership skills, and talent in the game. Having been involved in several sports throughout my life, I feel I am adaptable and a well-rounded athlete who will make an impact on any team. Fortunately, my traits in sports coincide with my academic ones; thus, I feel I will fit in most atmospheres smoothly. As an athlete and aspiring editor, I hope to use my abilities to get the education I need to help others tell their stories.
