Charlene Nerio '14 Recruiting Profile

Life is what you make of it. You only achieve the dreams that you chase after. If you don’t dream big, you’ll never achieve anything big. I have lived my life having faith in that. Volleyball is everything to me. It’s the one thing, besides me family, that I can always depend on. In moments of anguish and defeat, I know I can still come back the next day and do something greater. I live for the risks you must take and the feeling you get after you win. Knowing that volleyball can take me further into an education I dream for makes it worth my while. I grew up wanting to find a way to help others. As I got older, I started loving children more and more. My wants and loves found a way together to a common goal, to be a Pediatrician. Since I was 14, this is all I’ve wanted to do. When volleyball found a way into my life, I knew I could take it to another level to become a pediatrician. I hope to achieve my dreams. Little by little, I’m finding my way there. I believe I can do it. With the never ending support and love from my family, I know I can. My loving mom and dad have been such a blessing. Their tough criticism has pushed me to be the best possible person that I can be. I am so blessed with the ability to play volleyball at a high level. I have also been blessed to have amazing coaches, teammates, friends, teachers, and family. I am ready to take the next step towards my dreams.
