Personal Statement
I am fortunate to be raised in a family where academic success is a requirement. The encouragement, dedication and importance of character enhancement that my family has instilled in both my sister and I has given me an edge over my competition. I have worked to foster both the mental and physical strength necessary to achieve my goals. I have played numerous travel and club sports growing up including softball, swimming, competitive dance team and my passion: volleyball. My parents also believe that part of being a well rounded person included playing a musical instrument for my entire grade school and junior high years. In high school I am streamlining my dedication efforts into volleyball to focus on balancing high standards for academics with my personal athletic goals. While I have continued as a multi sport athlete at Morgantown High School in both volleyball and swimming, volleyball is my true athletic focus and passion for a future college career.
