Personal Statement
My name is Gabriel Fernandez and I have played club volleyball for the past 5 years. Within those 5 years, I have also played 3 for my High School team; Junior Varsity my freshman year and Varsity both the sophomore and junior years. During junior year I was the Team Captain and led my team to the quarterfinals in NCS (playoffs). Throughout the years that I've played volleyball, I've learned to appreciate the game and utilize the skills I've such as leadership and perseverance, in the classroom. Through leadership, I have been able to influence others, contribute to a common goal, and help others achieve their maximum potential. Perseverance has helped me surpass the hardships I've been confronted with, as well as dedicating my efforts to a common goal. I realized during my first high school Varsity match that I could see myself playing collegiate volleyball, with hopes of pursuing it after college.
