Personal Statement
In college I hope to be very successful and eventually reach a level of education that will further advance me in society. I strive to get into the medical field when I finish all of my schooling. I'm a good candidate for your team because I'm extremely positive, I work hard, and I am very dedicated to volleyball. My character is different from other recruits because I try to find the positive in every situation, I barely get stressed, and I never settle. In a game like situation you won't see me get flustered or panicked if things aren't going as planned. In my mind every mistake in a game is just one step closer to becoming a stronger player because you learn from every mistake you make. As an athlete I have a very strong mental game and and have a passion for sports in general, especially volleyball. Some athletes have trouble with their mental game and can end up breaking down. The key from advancing past a mistake (in my mind) is to learn from it, and move on. Academically speaking, I love learning. Every class that I take I love because I learn something new. A lot of students that I know go through school just wanting to pass the class, and that is the difference between regular students and me. I don't just go through school to pass, I also go to retain and learn something.
