My name is Mikaela Alvarado and I am a junior from San Antonio, Texas. I started playing volleyball when I was in 7th grade, and since then My passion for the sport has grown tremendously. I have put in the work to get to where I want to be in high school but I continue to work hard in order to succeed one day in a higher level of competition. Some of my favorite things about volleyball is the excitement of the game, bettering my skills, and the bond you can create with your team and coaches. I would love to continue playing volleyball in college because I want to excel in the sport, as well as to have the opportunity of being a part of something bigger than myself.
