In my personal life, I always strive for excellent grades, strive to be a better friend, and a better person, yet always relating things back to volleyball. My goal is to never stop loving this sport, to use it to play at the highest level I can, and treasure volleyball as a long-lasting part of my life. My Mom and Dad always say, “no matter where your athletic career takes you, the most memorable thing you will do with it is to just have played.” On the tough, hard days at practice or at tournaments, I remember those words always. I dig in and just play.
