Personal Statement
Volleyball has been an integral part of my life. It has been my passion for the past five years, and has been a transformative force in my character development. Volleyball has taught me very valuable lessons such as teamwork, resilience, and work ethic, and is teaching me much more as I continue to play. I am hardworking, dedicated, and eager to learn more. I believe that when I am on any team, I bring a positive and encouraging attitude to the court and to my teammates. I have learned to play for my team instead of myself, which has taught me to focus on the game and has given me a more selfless attitude on the court.
In the past five years of playing competitive volleyball, I have been able to earn spots among the top teams in the puget sound region. While playing competively, I have worked hard to succeed academically. I want to find a college that is right for me. One that will allow me to pursue a degree in marketing (business) and environmental science, which will challenge and grow me intellectually, while also allowing me to play volleyball.
