Personal Statement
Hello!My name is Rebecca Italiano. I am 17 years old and will be a senior at East Rockaway High School. Class of 2012! People can describe me as outgoing,dedicated and determined. I'm a team player, I look out for my teammates on and off the court. I motivate and never give up. If you ever came to one of my games, you would always hear my voice! I'm loud and ALWAYS positive, never negative...that goes no where! I'm also very coachable. I can change positions easily and move around very quickly. I have volleyball "IQ" , some coaches tell me. It definately makes a difference on the court. Anyways, volleyball is not just a hobby to me, but a passion or even maybe an addiction. I'm always up to go pepper in the yard or just have a volley. Although i'm VERY competitive. I like to win, but who doesn't ? Thats why im looking to play college volleyball. Its the next big step for my volleyball career. I would like to play somewhere that offers me a great education and athletic program. I would consider playing at any level, for a school with great programs. I'm looking to be a teacher and coach in the future. Possibly major in special education. My family will need financial aid , so scholarships are a HUGE help! I have a BIG heart. I volunteer whenever i can and do as much as i can for the community. I will be a 3 year varsity starter who has taken the team to NYS final four and County playoffs.Named all-tournament 2009,2010 and 2011. Also, All-conference 2010 and 2011. I'm a 3 season athlete. I also play basketball and softball. I work hard, and i think that wherever i go , i will be able to make a difference on the team and help take the next step to a more successful season!
