Favvvvvvvv Hobby

My all time favorite hobby is volleyball. I eat, sleep, and breathe volleyball. I have been playing since 7th grade. I remember when tryouts first rolled around, and I almost did not go to them. I honestly think I would have regretted it so much. Everyday, I play. Even when I am not playing, I always have an extra ball somewhere in my room, and I am constantly setting and bumping it. Volleyball takes up most of my free time. Even during off season, almost every Saturday and sometimes Sunday is taken up by a tournament. The most exciting thing about the sport itself is how powerful it makes me feel. The fact that I can control the speed, power, spin, direction, etc., is just amazing. However, volleyball is not as easy as it looks. "Anyone can play!" I am always told. They are all wrong. Not just anybody can play. Trust me, I have seen some girls that have played for a few years pick up a ball, and shank it a good 2o feet from their position. It definitely is not an easy task. I still am not as good as I would like to be. I am progressing though, everyday I am getting better, and it really shows. I honestly just want to take this talent with me in the future. I want to grow up playing as I have been, maybe make a career out of it. When I am older, I want to be able to look back at where I was, and then look at where I am and say "I made it."
