Personal Statement
You would think that a sport that makes you this happy could never lead you wrong? When I started playing competitively, I found that statement to be all sorts of wrong. I have gone through every kind of hell you can think of when it comes to this sport: From losing a sports influence close to me to being abandoned by a coach in the middle of a season. Everything that I have ever been through taught me that I am strong enough to do anything I set my mind to. I’ve had people against me: my friends, my teammates, my own coach and I’m still working towards the final goal of college volleyball.
I lost my way when I lost my grandpa at a young age, he was someone who believed in me when I didn’t and he continues to be my hero on and off the court no matter the win or the loss. I believe I have what it takes to play in college, the leadership quality, the fight, the ability, the speed, and I am still working on composure although it is getting better. I am the first and loudest to cheer when my teammates do something amazing or when we got a point that we deserved. I try and make myself a support system the girls can come to if they need it. My teammates and I have an understanding on the court and I make it my goal for these girls to be my family at the end of every day, I will cheer them up when they are down and continue to cheer when they are up. I take the blame when I know it’s mine and when I know my teammates need me to step up.
My goal for the end of high school is to finish above a 3.6 GPA and continue to raise my core GPA. College is approaching and I want a goal to be productive while I’m there and create a plan to have the organization on my own. From a young age, college was always a dream of mine, that dream has developed into playing volleyball in college. Thank you, to those who have stopped and read, I appreciate it.
