High school has been filled with new experiences, challenges, and growth. Since 6th grade I have played volleyball up until my senior year. While I can be an introvert, I thrive working together and formulating genuine relationships and connections with my teammates and coaches. Being viewed as team captain and motivator I have strived to encourage others through positive interactions, affirmations, and mentoring. I have chosen to invest in them, enabling them to invest in others. I would like to continue this going into college. I want to continue playing volleyball because I love this sport and I love to see my improvement continue.
