I am a positive influence both on and off the court. I always put forth my best effort in both games and at practice. Whether my teammates are doing well or struggling, I am always supportive of them and let them know that I am there for them and know that they are doing their best. I am always ready to provide whatever help is needed both on and off the court. What is best for the team is always my priority.

Each time my team has won a medal I have felt so proud of us. My team and I work so hard to be the best that we can be and I have formed so many friendships with my teammates that I know will be lifelong. There is something really special about individuals coming together as a team and working together to become something far more powerful than what any of us could be on our own. There is a certain magic on the court when we are all working in perfect synchronicity with each other.

When not at school or on the court I spend many hours in my room drawing or crocheting. It is very relaxing and grounding to recharge after a tournament by sitting down and quietly creating something with my hands.

My role models are my coaches. They have given me so much of their time and attention so that I could become the person that I am today and the person I hope to be in the future. Their dedication to my growth as a person and as a player has shown me that I have value and as a result I strive to be a positive influence when I go out into the world because I know that I belong and that I can make a difference just like they have made a difference in my life.

I have tremendously enjoyed being part of my high school’s art club. It has been an excellent way for me to connect with other students who are also interested in visual arts. I really enjoy the athleticism and comradery of volleyball and also the quiet serenity of creating artwork. I could not see myself being without either in my life.

Currently achieving a 93% average in Grade 10.

Achieved an 88% average in Grade 9 and made the Honour Roll.

Accepted into a regional International Business and Technology program for middle school.

I feel very proud of myself for these achievements. I work very hard at school and am so happy when my hard work pays off. These achievements show me that I can do anything that I set my mind to. Knowing that gives me the confidence to dream big when it comes to my future both academically and in volleyball.

I am planning on going into sports medicine. Once I have achieved all that I can as an athlete, I would like to help other athletes achieve all that they can too. I think that travelling with a professional team as their sports medicine physician would be incredibly exciting and rewarding and would also allow me to remain in the sports world for my entire career.

In university I would like to be a starting player on a varsity volleyball team. I am a quick learner and very driven and I know that I would excel as a varsity athlete and as a student. I look forward to meeting new teammates and friends and also look forward to challenging myself both on and off the court. Being away from home and having to rely completely on myself is something that makes me both nervous and excited. I look forward to growing as both a person and a player during my university years while working to achieve success academically and also athletically as part of a varsity volleyball team.
