Personal Statement
Hi, I am Maggie Rayburn. I am a middle hitter for the Fairfield Varsity volleyball team.
As a 15u player, I was given the opportunity to move up to the 17u club team. Even though at times it could be very challenging it was an overall very rewarding experience. Although I didn’t get to play with the girls my age that I have been used to playing with for many years it taught me a lot of things about the game of volleyball and helped me grow into the player I am today. That role led me to a spot on the varsity volleyball team my sophomore year and junior year. I learned to work together well with girls I have never really played with which led us to place third in our conference. I learned to appreciate the advice of upperclassmen which has helped me with my overall game. I would love the opportunity to play in college.
While growing up in rural Iowa, I have been exposed to livestock and other animals in which I have found an interest for them and their wellbeing. This has guided me into a future career involving animal science.
