Personal Statement
My name is Carly Schmucker and I am a setter in the class of 2023. As a sophomore at Sanger High School I realize my athletic career is far from over with much to be written. In addition to volleyball, I play basketball (shooting guard) and look forward to the challenges high school presents. As a Setter, I have been fortunate to play on Instinct VBC 17 Wild Gold team.
I believe no single event can ever define a person, but the passing of my mother in 2016 changed my life. She pushed me early in my life to be as good as I can be, to work hard and never accept defeat. Without her I have continued to push myself, get better every day, but more importantly, push those around me to be the best they can be.
In the 7th grade, I qualified for the Duke TIP program, which enabled me to take the SAT. Following that school year, I enrolled in an on-line college level class to get a jump on college preparation. My effort and hard work extend to both on and off the court, as a dedicated student-athlete. Currently, I’m number nine out of two hundred-five people in my class with a 3.98 GPA . I currently took the PSAT and waiting for the final results.
