Personal Statement
I've been playing volleyball since I was 8 years old. I have played on all the rec teams, all middle school years, and I plan on playing all my high school years. I have been a starter since my first game, I was the captain my 8th grade year and I was a starter during travel volleyball. I have aspired to play at the collegiate level.
I move quickly and I have fast reflexes. I have a strong jump serve and I have a strong hit. I can dig and I can make a pass out of something most players can't get to. I am coachable and I strive to always be better. I'm a very hardworking player, and I will be one of the hardest working recruiters you'll find.
I strive in the classroom and on the court. I maintain high grades, I've never received below A/B grades. I strive on the court to always be better. I want to be a role model to young girls who fall in love with the game as much as I did. I want to show kids that they can do anything they set their minds to.
I want to attend a college that will challenge me on the court and in the classroom. I'm open to every option and I want to find the best college to help me achieve greatness on the court and in the classroom. I want to prove to my family that I can do it and I want to make my parents proud. I hope to be a great role model and a great leader.
