Normal, Illinois
I was raised by my two parents in a small town in Illinois along with my four crazy siblings. I had a wonderful childhood filled with many great memories. But, I set my eyes on a dream when I was in 5th grade: I wanted to play Division I Volleyball.
Today, I am a Student-Athlete at Illinois State University, where I am living that dream and more. I am a freshman majoring in biochemistry, working hard in the classroom and on the court. My teammates are my best friends and my family is always right behind me. God has given me the talent and guidance that I needed to fulfill the dream I had as a child.
Now that I have met my dream, it is time I set out to fulfill a new one. I am studying hard to go to dental school after I graduate and become a dentist.
