I started playing when I was roughly 8 years old because my mom was the coach for my school and my sister was on the middle school team. Wha really drove me to keep playing was when I wanted to try out for the middle school team in fifth grade my mom told me I wasn't good enough. At the time she was right, but it hurt my feelings and it made me want to prove her wrong.
My teammates can count on me to be a source of energy and someone they can turn to whether it be for volleyball or not. My goal for my team is to make it like a family so each of us can count on each other.
The environment that helps me thrive the most is a competitive one. I like when I have someone that I can compete against and when I get the chance to prove myself. I don't like to not have the pressure of someone ese being better than me and it is always more of a reason to work harder.
My goals are to go to a good school that will help me continue to play volleyball while I major in law. Specifically criminal law is something I would like to study because I find that an interesting field of work and it is something to do for the rest of my life.
My family is very tight; I have a brother and a sister that I've grown up with. My parents always worked to give me something they did not have, and I do not want to advantage of that. I love spending time with my family especially my cousins. I'm the youngest of my cousins and that always meant rough housing and we all like to have a good time now that we are all basically grown up.
Some of my personality traits are that I am straightforward and I love to laugh and make others laugh. I just love to have a good time with family and friends, but when I want something, I am determined to work for it.
Something I hope coaches learn about me beyond the stats is that I am a hardworking person and I love sports in general so to be able to play for another 4 years after high school is something that I want because my life has revolved around sports before I was even playing them.
