Personal Statement
I am so very thankful for everything volleyball has done for me. To just see how far I’ve come and to see how my life has changed so dramatically. It’s so crazy to think about. Doors are opening and I don't know how to thank everyone that’s ever helped me. All of my coaches, trainers, teammates, and my teachers have helped me so much on my journey. They helped me when I was down, when I needed an extra push for when I was slacking, supported and believed in me, and always trying to make me a better person. I wouldn’t be who I am today without these people.
With these people constantly at my sides, I stride for success. Every morning or afternoon I workout and train for volleyball. During school I am very focused on school and my education. I manage my time very well. I do all of my homework and study. When I'm not doing something academically then I am training, working out, or just working on stuff for volleyball.
This sport is very important to me and I love it with all of my heart. I don't know what I would do without it.
