My name is Ariana I am in 9th grade and I attend Virginia Connections Academy. I love volleyball with a passion it has truly helped me become a better person and athlete. Volleyball has helped me develop certain traits such as patience, determination, commitment, hard work, and leadership. As a student and athlete, sports are important in my life but academics are also a priority. After college, I want to be on the course to become an OBGYN and bring new life into the world, and I will try my hardest to achieve that dream of mine. I will have respect and honor, on and off the court, because I know that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my officials, and the school I attended.
