One of the most important things in my life is volleyball. This sport has allowed me to meet and become friends with so many amazing people that I probably wouldn't have gotten to know otherwise. I didn't start playing until two years ago, when I first decided I wanted to play in high school, but as soon as I started playing I fell in love with everything about it.
I knew I was terrible when I decided I wanted to play for the school (which was sometime in the middle of eighth grade), so I tried out for a club and made a local team and I started to actually know what I was doing. Come summer I was still awful but good enough to make the freshman team. That season I became friends with a lot of people I never really talked to before and it helped me become more social and not as shy. After the season was over I still wanted to play so I tried out for another local team and played through the winter and spring. Summer came again and I made the JV team and we had a pretty great season (not as much drama as freshman year hah). In November I tried out for the same club but this time I made a regional team, which is a lot more competitive than the local team and I love it so much. We've had two tournaments so far, one where we won and the other we got second place.

That's awesome a great lesson on working hard and improving each year!
