Destiny's Story

My passion is volleyball.

In my freshman year, there were volleyball tryouts for my school. I was very interested so I tried out for the team. I made it on the team, but I wasn't as good as the other teammates due to having little experience in playing volleyball. During our games, I was barely played because I wasn't really good at the sport and didn't reach my coach's expectations. Learning that, I practiced more and improved on my spiking, receiving, and setting. In my sophomore year, I improved more and more, which led to more playing time. Out of our 12 games, we've won 10 games and lost 2 games. My passion for this sport has gotten stronger because I know I am able to improve as a volleyball player. Working with my teammates has also improved my social skills because it taught me that it was okay to ask for help.

A Note from Ms. Tharathattel, Destiny's Coach

As a new volleyball team with limited resources, in the past two years, Destiny has seen the rigor, expectations and goals of our volleyball team enhance. Destiny came to us with no prior volleyball experience, except for gym class play. She was nervous at first, but certainly eager to be apart of a team community. Destiny spent the entire season her first year growing during practice, but barely playing during games. Even still, she thoroughly looked forward to practices and games and even begged me and the principal to allow the team to practice together after the season was over. Her drive and commitment to the sport led her to try out again in her sophomore year. She has shown an incredible amount of growth this past season and wishes to continue playing next year.
