Personal Statement
My name is Mia Swierbut and I am a Libero college hopeful. I am a 5'3 Libero graduating in 2023, and I am looking for schools that will aid my athletic and academic career but also present me with challenges that I can apply lessons from later in life.
I was introduced to volleyball when I was 9 and I have been playing volleyball since I was 10 at the competition level. I initially became interested in volleyball because of my older sister, Reilly. We would play in the backyard for hours and this made me want to compete. My love for the game has grown exponentially ever since. As I become older the competition becomes more difficult, however, that is the part I love. I adore the fact that it is not easy and will always be a challenge no matter how skilled I become. The challenge of volleyball is my calling, as well as the intelligence needed to be successful. I have loved getting to know the game and developing different strategies, however, I am ready to know more and become more challenged each day.
