Personal Statement
My love for volleyball started when I was in 1st grade and started on a mini-volleyball team. I always aspired to get better and to be the best version of myself possible. As Jr. High came along, I was always looking on ways to make myself better, working harder than the person next to me, and to be one step in front of others to give me that edge. During my 4 years of Jr. High volleyball, I won two 7th grade and three 8th grade IESA State Championships.
My freshman year was where I grew most as a student athlete. My goal as a freshman was to get on the varsity team and earn a starting position. This was a very intimidating goal for me because the year before my high school's volleyaball team got Runner -up in the IHSA State Championship. During my freshman year, I managed to complete my goal, and I learned so much as player and as a person.
I aspire to play at the colligate level. I am looking not only a program that will be a good fit for me athletically but academically as well. I believe my character, drive, and leadership skills would make a positive impact on your program.
