• Kamehameha Schools Maui
• Grade: 12 / GPA: 3.991
• Sport: Volleyball
• Future Plans: I plan to go to the Brigham Young University-Provo and then Law School. I have always loved this sport and want to continue playing at the collegiate level if the opportunity presents itself. However, I will also be content with playing intramural volleyball at BYU-Provo.
• Sports Lessons: I enjoy working with other like-minded people towards achieving the same goal. Playing with athletes who share the same passion and interests as me makes the game so fun.
More than anything, being an athlete has taught me the importance of leading by example. Sometimes, that means playing a big role, but many times, it means being humble and knowing when to let others lead and play bigger roles as you cheer them on and build them up.
