My avatar is my current volleyball team at Bryn Mawr.
Volleyball has been a big part of my life ever since I started high school. I have never played before then, but playing volleyball was the best decision I could've made going into high school as a clueless freshman. Volleyball has shaped me to be mentally and physically strong young woman. I love the fast tempo game and the competitiveness. I love the sound of an impressive hit and the feeling of a good dig. I love the spirit of our team, getting together in a circle chanting and cheering each other on.
Coming into freshman year of Bryn Mawr, I didn't expect to be playing again due to a permanent shoulder injury. However, after talking to the athletics trainers, I got good news and with some rehabilitation work, I will be able to play normally! Playing with a new team was unfamiliar at first, but as we begin the season I believe we would grow as a team and most importantly as a volleyball family.
