Before high school, I had never touched a volleyball. Going into my freshman year, my best friend forced me to try out. To my surprise, I made the team and was voted as captain. Even though I am completing my 4th year of volleyball this year, I feel as if I have played forever due to my incredible passion and respect for the game. I have been captain throughout the years, and it has morphed me into a good teammate who is not only obnoxiously loud on the court and endlessly proud of her team, but a teammate who is also mentally tough and can guide her team through any struggle we face.
