Personal Statement
Having lived several years overseas, I was engaged in an environment where academics took priority over athletics. Expectations in the classroom were extremely high, which required discipline and focus to succeed. This need for discipline and focus would lead to my participation in an Engineering & Technology track at my current high school and my desire to pursue an Engineering degree in college.
It just so happens, that I also discovered my passion for playing volleyball while living overseas. Similar to the classroom, victory on the volleyball court requires discipline and focus. Volleyball enables me to build strong friendships, have an outlet from the stress and demand of academics, and most important, to compete as part of a team where cooperation and support of each other are fundamentals to success. The ability to work towards my engineering degree while playing volleyball in college would be an amazing opportunity.
