This year I decided that I would join the volleyball team at my school. One of my friends really pushed me to do it so that is the main reason I am on the team. This is my first time playing on the team, but I did do off-season volleyball practice for one semester. However, I didn't really fully commit myself to off-season volleyball, so I had to learn a lot of skills during practice. This time around I feel way more committed and engaged with the sport. I got to all the practices, even the extra ones that are outside our usual practice schedule. I have had one of my friends teaching me how to serve, during the school day, so that I will be able to serve for games and practice. I have also asked the coach for help whenever he is free outside of practice, so that I can get better at playing. I feel really engaged and involved in the team this time around and my commitment to it makes me very proud.
