Rebecca Drinkwater '19 Recruiting Profile

Most important to me at this point is to find a good fit for college where I can continue to grow academically, spiritually, and athletically.. I enjoy school and love volleyball.  I love the game but I also love being a part of a team and working together for a common goal.   Because of my love of the game, my dedication to the team, and my ability to persevere I am certain that I am a strong candidate for collegiate volleyball and academics.

I am different!  When  I was three, I was taken from my home and placed in foster care. I stayed in foster care for three years until my parents (now) adopted me.  The challenges that I have had to overcome have molded me into the person I am today.  I have GRIT and perseverance. I am not afraid to work hard and I love being a part of a team.  I have learned that being successful is not just time and effort - it is putting in your heart and soul as well.  I am continually striving to become a better volleyball player, student, and person.

i have attended Riverside STEM academy since 5th grade and have welcomed the challenge of rigorous academics.  Since STEM does not offer sports, I had to play volleyball at my home school at Poly HS.  That was a comittment in itself - to commute for sports.

I believe that Volleyball has provided many opportunities for me and I feel I am at my best while participating in the sport.  I look forward to continuing with volleyball and having a successful college career. I have the work ethic needed to find success in the classroom and on the court.

i plan to major in Biology and then attend Grad School.
