Since I began playing volleyball, it has become a huge part of my life. It is a stress reliever, a character-building activity, and most of all, it's a fantastic sport to play! Volleyball has become a top priority - along with academics - and it is one of the main focal points in my life. I have learned how to balance my academics with my volleyball schedule, and I have been able to maintain a 4.0 while doing so. I strive for perfection in all the things that I do, and I know that I can always improve no matter how well I accomplish something. I believe that I am different from other candidates because I will always have to improve, and I will always have to better myself as a young woman, and as an athlete. Volleyball is one of the most amazing parts of my life!
