Personal Statement
I am currently a sophomore in highschool, but now a junior since quarantine. I've been on varsity for volleyball for 2 years, and also 2 years for basketball. In 2011, my brother was diagnosed with kidney failure. He has been my biggest inspiration ever since. In 2018, he was diagnosed with heart failure, and I became very upset regularly. He forced me to tryout for volleyball my freshman year, and it would've been my first time ever playing officially. I made the freshman team, but was soon moved up to varsity. I strive to become the best volleyball player I can be, because of my brother and how he introduced me to a sport I would never expect to fall in love with. I received defensive player of the year my freshman year, and led the league with 83 blocks. Sophomore year, I recieved another defensive player of the year, with 96 blocks and 55 kills. Now nearing the end of my junior year, i’ve grown my standing vertical to 9’11 and my approach height to 10’2.
