What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Emotional intelligence, I am able to pick my teammates up easily by knowing how they are feeling. I also can sense when I need to focus back in and not let my emotions distract me.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I was diagnosed with POTS syndrome at 13 years old, for years I had no idea I had it. Many times I ended up in the emergency room, and in worse cases, an ambulance. It was a nerve wracking journey. Without a diagnosis I had no idea how to treat what I had. Volleyball became more difficult for me, and yet I ended up loving it even more.
