Boy let me just say I was not born like Gabby Douglas, naturally gifted in my craft. The thing we do have in common is the determination to go on. I remember the first time ever playing volleyball. I was terrible. My mom would sink in her seat every time I'd serve. I remember some parents after each game trying to give me pointers. I didn't know what volleyball was, but all I knew was I loved the game. Everything changed a year later. I went from my mom covering her face every time served, to becoming the starting server my 6th grade year. I wouldn't be the player/person I am today without the game or the amazing coaches I've had along the way. I don't know what my future in the game may be, but I do know that I want to keep playing the game I love for many more years to come.
