To be the Best

Volleyball my senior year was by far the best part of my life.  I think being at your best doesn't just involve you.  It seems when I am at my best the things around me are also going pretty well.

Our high school volleyball team my senior year was practically my second family.  My two best friends were also on the team with me and we all played a big part in leading our team.  It was the best season of my high school experience and we tied for the best record that year.  Even with all of our achievements there is more to why this was my peak time.

Because my last season meant so much to me I found myself trying hard at absolutely everything I did.  I don't remember a practice I didn't give my all in.  That is really unusual to me because I often get tired of doing the same thing over and over again.  Along with giving my all in practice I gave my all in school work too; I got the best grades that semester.

I believe if I can find something here at college I really enjoy participating in that I will be able to feel the same way again.  If I enjoy what I am doing in my personal life I find my school work reflects it.  Writing this has just made me realize that too, so I will probably be more aware of the things that I enjoy doing and try to carry that same feeling to doing homework and studying.

  4. Volleyball was one of my favorite sports and my senior year was probably my best too!!! My team got really close during the summer which made us play even better together during the season.

  9. That's really nice you had great friends on your team! I envy you because our team wasn't very close at all. Our team could have been so much better if we had!
