I want to be a starting middle hitter for a volleyball team, and I am working hard to earn a scholarship for my athletic and academic abilities. I am a good candidate for your team because I work hard, I am always looking to improve myself on and off the court, and I am a caring teammate. I am different from other recruits because I always stay positive, support my teammates, and bring energy to the court. In academics, I go that extra step to make sure I have good grades.
