Andrea Menchaca '23 Recruiting Profile

I became interested in playing volleyball when I was 11 years old.  My cousin and I would play in a nearby park and I discovered a new love.  I didn’t play on a formal Volleyball team until 8th grade.  I like the feeling of being part of a team that volleyball gives me.   I started playing late so I have to work harder than most players. I love playing Volleyball.  It’s my love for the sport that pushes me to not give up on it. I practice extra so no one can tell me I'm not good enough.  

I have big goals in life. I want to be a doctor when I grow up.  So I make sure that I study hard and keep my grades up.   If something is hard I don't give up, I keep working.  I overcame the obstacles of moving somewhere new, changing surroundings, schools and making new friends which is a hard thing to do but I did it.  I have learned hard work makes you better.
