I fly towards the volleyball and dive for it before I dare let it touch the ground. I scramble to my feet, preparing for my next move. All of a sudden I hear the buzzer go off in the background. I quickly shift my attention to the score to see if we had won the game. To…

cheering on the Morrison varsity volleyball girls team during their ACSC (Asia Christian Schools Conference) tournament. While I was watching I fell in love with the sport and I strived to be like one of those players someday. I played volleyball non-stop since the beginning of middle school.

My goal was to be able to get on the school’s varsity volleyball team, and I didn’t…

As I looked out at the gorgeous light blue Caribbean Sea I saw a large white boat in the distance with a rope connected to a parachute sailing over it with multiple people in the boat. My family and I were standing on the pure white Dominican Republic sand waiting for our turn to take the dinghy out and meet the parasail boat for our first experience parasailing ever.

As I walked towards the sidewalk, I passed a group of yoga instructors, an intense beach volleyball match, and a group of young adults partying and doing things that they probably shouldn’t be doing. I pulled up a map of the city with all of the best restaurants and told my family, “Let’s try Bella Monte!” and soon we were on our way to dinner…

passionate with volleyball. In fact, it is one of the top dangerous sports. I managed to make it through numerous of years with a few sprained and jammed fingers which were surprising. I became passionate when I was recognized by a high school coach at something I thought I was doing inadequately at. Meanwhile, over the time I have developed and was awarded the MVP award. In 2009 at West Middle School, I was in the eighth grade and heard that the school was having tryouts for the new volleyball…
