One Thing I Value the Most.

One thing in my life that I value the most is volleyball. Without volleyball, I would honestly have no life. It is not a hobby so much as it is a passion. Volleyball is something I live for. I live for the long hours of practice, bus rides to far away places, that feeling of beating a team at its home gym. It is all very exciting. Sometimes I want to quit, or give up. Sometimes, I think "Whatever, it's just a sport." However, it really is not. Volleyball is how I take out my stress, anger, sadness, and it is where I can relieve myself. I cannot imagine my life without it. Volleyball is not really something anyone can just pick up and be good at. This is why I am glad I started learning when I did. Learning takes time, dedication, motivation, and focus. Without any of that, I would not be able to do anything. Myself, as well as my family, are extremely proud of how far I have come since I first started. I began on a little middle school team in 7th grade, and I barely knew how to underhand serve. Now, I am a sophomore playing varsity, and practicing up to four hours every single day just to improve. However, I am not complaining. Volleyball is also the source of all my happiness.
