Personal Statement
I am Bart van der Mark, i am from the Netherlands, and came over in America in August 2015.
I have been playing volleyball since I was seven years old, but stopped playing at my 12th year, started again 2 years ago.
I know that playing in college team is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life and therefore this is one of the reasons why i came over to the USA.
I am a real team leader and team player.
I am very coach able and i am a hard working player and love to be recruited.
In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a good GPA.
As far as a college that is a good fit for me, I want somewhere that education is of the same importance as volleyball because education is very important to me as I realize that volleyball will end eventually and I will have to put myself out into the world and get a job.
I am open to pretty much anything as far as schools go and will take anything into consideration.
