2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I have been playing volleyball since middle school and have experienced a lot of success. I have grown personally as a player and also as a teammate. It is important for me to keep growing and learning new skills. I have incorporated weightlifting into my daily routine and started competing in track last year to increase my agility. My hope for the future is to study English/History with the hope of pursuing a degree in law. I find that I do better academically when I am more involved. Volleyball keeps me active mentally and physically and I feel that my leadership skills on the court would make me a strong asset to your program.
