Gabriella Marquez '17 Recruiting Profile

When focusing on my future and the goals I'd like to achieve I mainly see myself attending a college that has personality and where I can continue to grow as a person. I'd like to attend a place where I may proceed to take classes to become a child pychologist and social worker. Working and aiding children in need is a definite passion of mine along with volleyball.  That being said I'd very much like to find a perfect fit with not only a school but the coaches and possible future teammates. I believe what sets me apart from other possible recruits is my willingness to overcome hardships, the drive and motivation I have to perform at my best ability at all times, and my acceptance of each individual. When it comes to volleyball I strive to become a better teammate and player with every practice and game as well as off the court. Academically speaking, I know my strong suites as well as the areas I struggle in but I follow through on working diligently in the classroom as well as on course work. I think a big thing for me whether it's academics or volleyball is knowing what mistakes I'm making and correcting them right away. I usually try to find a solution on my own before seeking assistance but I use these types of situations to grow as a student, player, and an individual.
