Personal Statement

I love volleyball, I love competing, I love to win.

All my cousins are over 6 feet tall and  played college football.  While not gifted with height, I was blessed with althletic ability.  My strengths are speed, quickness, work ethic, and leadership.   On the court I am focused to win, but I understand how to keep my teammates relaxed and focused to play their best.  When I ask my coaches what my best strength is, they say I am the glue.  The glue that brings the team together.   My current coach says it’s a game changer.   

Regarding academics, I was diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age.  My parents got me the help I needed.  I fought my way back into a Catholic elementary school and high school.  It motivates me to work harder when people don’t think I am smart because of the dyslexia.   I will work harder than anyone whether it’s on or off the court.   Last year I made the Head Master Gold Honor Role (the highest one at my school).

With the age change in club volleyball, the last several years I have had to compete with girls a grade older than me.   I was able to make those teams and was able to earn the libero spot.
