DETERMINED | AMBITIOUS | OUTGOING
Beyond Covid:
Dealing with the pandemic was a struggle at first. Throughout this whole time I have learned multiple ways to adapt to situations I have been put in. One being, volleyball. My senior season was taken away from me due to covid. It was honestly heart breaking and so hard as a senior. But as time went on I moved on for the better. I am now in club season, and we have gone to multiple tournaments which feels normal, besides wearing the mask of course. Another big thing as seniors is missing prom, and the normal events all others were able to attend at our age. I changed my mind set on that as I am not the only one struggling with this. I have learned from the pandemic to adapt, overcome, and improvise every situation thrown at me.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years, I see myself working at a fashion industry or a big merchandising company in the higher ups. After I am done playing volleyball in college, I hope to finally find somewhere to settle down. I hope to have 3 kids or at least 1 by then. I want to be able to enjoy my job and enjoy the things I love doing. I hope to travel to at least a couple of my dream destinations.
What is your favorite High School memory and why?
My favorite high school memory is definitely starting my first game as a freshman on the varsity volleyball team. This is my favorite memory because a lot of people did not know me and my capability playing at such a young age. I learned a lot being in that position, and it honestly set me up for success throughout my years playing high school volleyball.
Is there anyone who has made a big impact on your life and why?
I think my mom has definitely made the biggest impact on my life. I could not live without her. Even though we have our different opinions at times, we always find a way back to each other. My mom had a unique childhood compared to a lot of people. She barley went to school as a kid. She was always traveling all over the world to different countries and staying with different families as she competed on the USA National gymnastics team. She was also in the Olympic trials. My mom has taught me that no one notices the things you accomplish and how hard you work for them until they see for themselves. My mom competed at a high level for so long then went to college at Nebraska where she competed at a division 1 level as a gymnast. This has defiantly pushed and motivated me a lot. I learned from my mom to go get the things I want and never to wait around for them to come to me. My mom is defiantly the biggest influencer in my life.
