Marissa Earl '21 Recruiting Profile

Marissa Earl Personal Statement

My name is Marissa Earl and I am interested in continuing volleyball in college. 

I currently play volleyball for McQueen High School in Reno, Nevada.  I will be a senior at McQueen and will graduate in June of 2021.  This is the third year I have played volleyball for McQueen, with great improvement every year.  During the off-season, I play club ball at Northern Nevada Juniors (NNJ).  I have played for NNJ for four years, and currently play on one of their travel teams.

I have not chosen a college major yet, but I am interested in nursing.  I find helping people to be very rewarding, and nursing is a positive way to build onto this aspect of my life.

One thing that sets me aside is how hard I work. I put 120% into all aspects of my life. People look up to me whether it comes to every day life or volleyball.

I set high expectations for myself in school and in volleyball, and I work very hard to reach these goals. I find volleyball to be a sport which helps me to stay focused on school and get good grades.  I have been taught that I am a student first and then an athlete second, which has helped me keep my grades up. 

I look forward to college and playing volleyball in the future.
