For most of my school life I renounced sports and had no interest in them, but as I entered high school, joining the volleyball team has been the best decision i’ve ever made. My team started out as the first boys volleyball team in our school since the pandemic and although we weren’t the greatest, it turns out I learned that I am a very athletic person and an even better teammate.
I have played for about more than a year and have learned more about myself as I continued to play with my team. Joining Volleyball has expanded my friend groups, community, and awareness of what I want to do in my future. I developed quickly in the sport—even getting awarded most improved at the end of my first season—and knowing how much Volleyball had changed my life in a short amount of time, with hard work, discipline, and dedication, I wish to continue the sport at the college level.
