Do you have any advice for current students?

A memory I didn’t think was one I wanted, ended up being a big blessing. My senior year I didn’t make the volleyball team. Freshman through junior year I had played and thought I was doing well… It was a shock and a disappointment for sure when I was cut. Looking back I truly believe it helped me deal with the many twists, turns, and surprises life throws your way. Making the best of any situation is often hard to do especially when everything seems so hard. Being able to lean on God and pray about it was key to not letting my confidence break. My advice would be to let God put obstacles and challenges in your path and make the most of each one of them… even when they seem to be hard or even miserable at times! He knows what He is doing!
