Volleyball has taught me multiple things; leadership, dedication, and a positive mental attitude. Becoming captain of the team taught me that the underclassmen were watching and learning from my mistakes and experiences, it taught me to lead by example.

I think that the media should stop worrying about aspects like religion and ethnicity when they say how great an athlete is, and just focus on the athletes skills in that sport.
