2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Volleyball has been part of my life since I was 8 years old, it has been very challenging to combine school with volleyball, because the hours of training and traveling days for different tournaments, but I think that with discipline and hard work I have done well in both. Now my days in High School are about to end and important decisions will come to me in a near future.
I’m interested in a degree in Business, Marketing, Graphic Design or Advertising. US market of goods and services is so big and competitive that you can find world-class education in these areas, and that’s why I’m really interested in studying these degrees in the US.
I consider my self a Hard Worker and I think there is always an opportunity to do better and continue improving. I heard from someone that sooner or later discipline would beat intelligence, and I totally agree.
One of the most important experiences in my life was the Central American U-19 Tournament; in witch I have the opportunity to participate as the second setter. It was really special for me playing for my country. Representing your country is something that all players want but just a few were chosen to do so.
