Mates or with their partner or how hard they're going for balls even if they don't get a point if they're pursuing something like 100% , they'd rather have that than someone that's going halfheartedly and still being successful . In college , the game is definitely more physical , so learning to adjust with that just is like everyone you're playing is much bigger and stronger , so just learning to . Adjust with who you're playing and um it's definitely helped me find my sense of identity when I'm playing just being more aggressive as a person I think in a younger level and juniors you're able to kind of get away with being less on the strong side and then in college everyone's lifting every day everyone has that strength and just figuring out what works for you .
So by the time June 15th came . I already had an idea of the schools I really saw myself at . Yeah , I think every coach has an idea of what type of player they're looking for , not only playing style , but also personality wise , and our coaches do a really good job of figuring out like what players will fit and groove together well .
Deciding like which one really speaks and resonates with them I think is starting to get more and more common . When I um committed and then came back from college , it made me really realize how many people do look up to me and how much of a role model I have to be and just for parents and kids that are aspiring to play in college , whether it's volleyball or something different , I definitely . Something that people like to look up to .
It's really important . So being a STEM major can definitely be challenging at times because there's a large time commitment with labs and classes and everything , but USC provides so many resources such as tutors , academic help , counseling , so it's really easy to kind of figure that . I felt if you're in need of help and learning kind of how to manage your own time has really been a big learning curve for me this past year I think just the workload and commitment you have to have to school as well as sport can be a lot drain like very draining mentally so it's really important to kind of figure out what works for you .

So this past year , I feel like I was really easily impressionable , so I would kind of want to fit in and kind of roll with how everyone else is and then reflecting back on my first year in college versus when I was in high school in a much smaller area where it was much easier to like be my true self , I think I definitely like lost that sense of identity being in college , so this year I'm really focused on trying to express that more , be the outgoing person that I used to be and just really um . Delving into that more .
