Personal Statement
After trying multiple sports, I was encouraged to try volleyball at the age of 13 and I immediately fell in love with the sport. Through a lot of hard work and dedication, I progressively improved enabling me to get where I am today. I have received multiple awards as a high school Varsity player as well as a player on Hampton Roads Juniors Volleyball Club teams. The positive team aspect of volleyball is what I enjoy most; each individual bringing unique qualities to the court and supporting each other no matter what. When I play volleyball nothing else matters but getting the ball up and terminating it. Volleyball has given me the confidence and drive to excel in all aspects of my life. I have gained confidence personally as well as academically. I have taken on leadership roles by participating in student government, and leading my high school team as a captain this year. I value the coaches and friends that I have made through the sport and being part of a team. My near term goal is to be recruited, so I may continue my volleyball career at the collegiate level at a school with high academic and athletic standards.
