I have grown up watching many of my family members play volleyball for as long as I can remember. Going to tournaments every weekend and going to each and every one of my sister's practices has given me a unique perspective on volleyball. This game isn't only in my life because I come from a long line of athletes though. Playing volleyball gives me a different kind of feeling and I love the competitiveness that comes with it. I can always be counted on to be at every practice or open gym, not because I feel like I need to, but because I want to. Determination has always been one of my most important traits, and I feel that I show that through volleyball, track, school, and other extracurricular activities I am involved in. I like challenges and problem solving, and that carries on into the gym. When I am doing something wrong, I want to find some way to fix it and better myself. Playing college volleyball has always been my goal, and I want to continue to do things that get me closer to achieving it.
