Personal Statement
Volleyball truly is my passion. I have learned so much through this sport that is going to help me with life.
We just finished our 2021 school season and ended with a 2nd place class 4A state tournament finish. Our overall record was 44-8 and we kept growing as a team as the season went on. I am grateful for the opportunities and the relationships that were made through this amazing sport. I was honored making first team All-State in class 4A, first team district and first team all conference. I also led the state in class 4A with aces (I serve for points). I also led class 4A in assists and 3rd in the state with assists.
At our banquet this year our underclassmen gave senior gifts. The gifts I will treasure the most are the notes they wrote to us. The following are some of the comments from my teammates.
"Sophie-Thank you so much for an amazing season. You will always be my favorite setter. You always came through with the music (even when your mom called like 5x that one practice). Thank you! - Paige"
"Sophia-I will forever remember our seasons together. I love being around you and having you set me straight better. I'm gonna miss you so much next year.-Ellie"
"Thank you for always being one of the teammates comfortable having in any situation. I've learned and grown from you so much throughout the season. Thank you for making me feel welcomed and loved this season. I am so grateful to have been able to play with you this year. Love you! - Averi"
"Sophie-Thank you for being a great leader this year. I will miss your sets and joking around at practice with you. Good luck next year! - Egg"
"My favorite memory of you is watching your leadership on and off the court. It's very obvious how the whole team, including myself, looked up to you and respected you. I will never forget the way you could, so easily, lift everyone up and lead the court and team. You did so much and left your legacy that will be remembered. You're going to do amazing things! Best of luck, Kennedy"
"Thank you for showing me what leadership and hard work looks like! Your constant drive and motivation pushed me to become a better player. you are going to do amazing things. -Lucy"
"You are such a great leader and having the chance to practice with you really helped me. I can't wait to see what you are going to do.-Kiara"
"Sophie-My favorite memory with you was pictures! If your dreams don't scare you then they aren't big enough."
"Sophie-You are a great leader and know how to push people in a positive and effective way no matter the person or situation you always strive to make EVERYONE better-Lindsey"
"You only have a short visit. Don't worry, don't worry & be sure to smell the flowers along the way. Love E"
