Personal Statement
Hi i’m Thamely Santos, but you already knew that. Well I have set many many goals to complete in my lifetime and one is to be able to pay for my mother’s debts and to be able to have her financially stable to not have to work another day in her life. Unfortunately to get there there are a lot of steps I must take, but that’s where all of you come in. If I were to receive an athletic scholarship, I would be able to do what I love and get an education which is highly encouraged by my mom. Clearly i’m not going to be handed a scholarship but I intend to work hard and play hard in both school and volleyball to be offered one. Aside from volleyball, i’m exceptionally determined to learn more about Nursing. I’m already attending Valencia College as a Dual Enrollment student which is a great start. I have wanted to be a Nurse for as long as I can remember and unlike many of the small goals I have set for myself, studying and playing collegiate volleyball is a major one. Like others, I want this just as badly, but I can guarantee that I will take you (my coach) very seriously while at the same time hope to build a lasting relationship with you. All of that will get me to my final destination of making my mother proud as cliché as it sounds.
