To my classmates I think they see me as an athletic, nice, quiet guy, who keeps to himself.  I would like to be seen as a person who doesn’t seem cocky in how he acts in school or how he talks to people in class.  From 7th grade my life has been surrounded by the sport of volleyball.  Volleyball to me is more of a need then a want in my eyes.  My life has been impacted greatly by the people I have met through the volleyball.  For example, one person who has noticeably changed my volleyball career is my high school varsity volleyball coach.  My coach has helped me become one of the top volleyball players in Suffolk County.  If it wasn’t for my coach I don’t think I would have continued or committed so extensively to volleyball.  My senior year of high school volleyball was one of the greatest seasons I’ve been a part of.  Volleyball is such a big part of my life that I joined the best Long Island Volleyball club that existed.  With my travel team I have traveled to California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Virginia, Texas, and Illinois.  If it wasn’t for my volleyball skills i don’t believe I would be going to this College.
