I have been a co-capatain of my school team for two years in a row. I learned how my leadership skills can help lift the team's morale and motivate my team to do their best. I've been able to apply this skill in the classroom as well by taking the lead on group projects and inspiring classmates. Also, as a libero, my philosophy is that no ball, no matter how far away it is, is out of my reach. If I work hard and chase it down, I can get it up. This idea has crossed over into my daily life. I believe that no goal is out of my reach if I work hard enough to achieve it. I am determined and goal oriented on and off the court and I take great pride in my work.
