- 2021 Highlights
Personal Statement
Hi!
My name is Olivia Gustafsson and I am a 2023 5'8" Left handed Setter/Opposite from Champaign IL. I am currently a junior at Champaign Central High School where I am in my third season on the Varsity Volleyball team. In addition to playing on the Varsity High School Team , I have also been playing on Competitive Travel teams for over 5 years. I have committed myself to to being the best player and teammate I can be and I want to continue to play an active role on a great college level volleyball team where I can simultaneously achieve my other life goals.
I LOVE VOLLEYBALL, but that is not my only passion. I actually have a lot of interests. I love enviornmental design, sports and recreation, real estate and the arts. However, I am also very interested in pursuing an education and future career in Criminal Justice or Social Work. I have long had an affinity for standing up for peoples individual rights and freedoms and advocating for equal opportunities for all. I am grateful for my opportunities and I feel that my fierce determination and deep passion for all that I do, equips me to be a strong advocate for justice, a dependable team player and a fighter. Some have said that I'm a good leader. I fight for my team, stand up for my friends, or those less fortunate and I excel in academics, not because I‘m a smarty, but because of my grit and focus to overcome all my obsticals. But dont worry, I don't always take things so seriously! I also got jokes! I know what fun looks like. Responsible fun of course :)
