Personal Statement
My collegiate goals and aspirations are to attend a college that provides the education I need to be successful in the business world, and that has a volleyball program which will challenge me to be the best volleyball player and teammate I can be. I am a good candidate for any team because I am respectful, dependable, teachable, and hard working. I am different from other candidates and potential recruits because I am just as concerned about the team as I am for myself. I am also physically and mentally tough. I can handle pressure and criticism well; I have seen others break down in heated situations, but I only become more determined. I am in great shape due to my cross-training with swimming and athletic training at T3 Performance in Avon, OH. As well, I have been working at a local restaurant serving customers since I turned 14, all while carrying a full Honors course load and managing my JO and school volleyball seasons. I am a classically trained pianist (click for Maxine playing "Iditarod"), a skill that takes hours of hard work and dedication. I volunteer in my community, and attend weekly church services plus a teen Bible study called Young Life. I am eager to find a college and volleyball program which will help me to develop my talents in order to become the best student athlete I can be!
