These girls? They mean the absolute world to me. To other people, we might seem like a handful of loonies, but that’s just us being….well, us! I am so thankful to be able to a part of such a great team, but I’m also very sad that we’ll never have the same team again. But I do know that it only gets better from here.

After winning CUNY Championships and making it to NCAAs, I am so determined to do it all again and perhaps get even further for the next seasons to come. But for the past 3 months, our team has been through a lot. We’ve seen each other at our worst, and definitely at our best.

I love volleyball so much. It takes me away from any problems I have in school or with family. Because once you step on that court with your team and you all are playing your hearts out, nothing matters. All the matters is at that very moment, you are working together and playing hard. Who cares the score? Who cares if they’re nationally ranked first place? All that matters is that you’re there, working hard, playing to your fullest potential, and your teammates are there with you doing the same.

So for me, these first 3 months at Baruch have been great. Playing college volleyball has always been one of my dreams, and not it’s coming true.

This is us We may be crazy, wacky, slightly intimidating, and really weird, but this our team, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
