 * VOLLEYBALL - This is MY Sport!**

Volleyball is one of my favorite sports of all time. I started playing when I was in grade 6, and have loved it ever since. Grade 9 is when I really took the sport seriously and put my heart and soul into every aspect of the sport. We had practices four times a week before classes started beginning at 7am, and that didn't stop,as we would continue practice at the end of our school day. We competed in school, out of school, in OCDSB tournaments, beach volleyball tournament...basically anything we could get our hands on. Eventually all my hard work paid off as i won many awards including MVP for both the girls and co-ed volleyball teams in my junior and senior years.

Throughout high school I was very competitive, maybe too competitive at times, which would lead to anger and frustration. Eventually, I learned that if I wanted to succeed, thinking positively was the only way to achieve what you wanted. I always gave little pep talks during breaks to the girls, and would help out any way I could. This is how I earned a spot as team captain for my senior girl's team. This was a true test and I proved that I could be a leader to not only others - but myself as well.
