From ages zero to five I was the rowdiest and happiest little kid you would ever meet. I loved everyone and I wanted to make everyone smile. My mom says that I was always saying, “watch me daddy watch me” to my dad over every little thing I thought he might be interested in.…

ever. I was asked to sing the national anthem at the first home volleyball game, but I had no idea what this would lead up to. Sure, I had been asked to sing at other events, but I hardly ever went through with it and when I did there was never as many people as there was at this game. Being a freshman is hard enough at high school and when you throw in a singing freshman, it is even harder. The story is that I had been going to volleyball workouts and open gyms throughout the summer and I had…

Why should children be informed on disability at an early age? Investigating: “Retard.” “Freak.” “Slow.” “Crazy.” All these terms have been maliciously and continuously thrown at handicapped persons. Bully, by definition, is “a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually intimidates smaller or weaker people,” ("Bully"). Upon its arrival in new age campaigns, this term has lost its value despite desperate efforts. Although bullying-related PSAs have been increasingly more popular…

Prior to conducting an interviews or beginning my strengths assessments, I had a very good idea in mind of what my strengths were. I’m still learning to identify my weaknesses are, but from the start, I knew what I was good at. I’m a good people-person, and staying organized and on task is one of my most valuable strengths. I received more assurance when listening to my closest family members tell stories of me at my best, and learning my top five strengths. When interviewing with my dad, he…

Have you ever been so wiped out even though you didn't do anything all day but sat and watched a bunch of girls play volleyball, well I felt that way, all day long. We were going to a hotel in Waterloo called Hampton Inn after coming from an extremely boring volleyball tournament that my older sister was playing in. I was really looking forward to doing all the things my mother was telling me about too do in the hotel. The hot tub, the pool, the good breakfast in the mornings, and the best of…

daring to be different, and doing so unapologetically. Although I embody this today, this trait manifested in response to rejection and self-discovery. Growing up, I was a shy follower, conforming to the norms of my peer group. Playing year-round volleyball was my passion. Unfortunately, my love for the game continued to grow while my height stopped at 5’2”. Thus, when I was cut from my high school team, I was devastated, empty without a sense of purpose…
