Ever since I started playing volleyball my freshman year of high school I immediately loved the sport. My passion for the sport has continued to grow everyday. Although I lack the experience of many other players my age, I believe that my determination, competitiveness, and coachability separates me from many other players. I've always been a team player whether it's being loud on the court, encouraging teammates, to even my drive to not only better myself but to see my teammates get better as well. My athletic ability has never lessened the value of hard work. I believe that hard work and determination is the only way to reach your maximum potential. Overall as player I bring all these aspects to the table not only athletically but academically as well. Over the past quarter I have maintained a 3.2 GPA and have always been an engaging student in my classes. My dream is to play in college and to continue to play after that. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make that dream come true.
