... my parents to not fight about what college they want me to goto.  I know that I want to goto college, but with so many choices here in Texas I don't think I even want to be here.  I feel like I'm more of a cold-weather girl than being in this heat all the time.  My dad wants me to go to University of Texas because its close to home and they'll be able to come to my games.  My mom wants me to goto UCLA because they are the top ranked women's volleyball team in the country year after year.  But me, I actually want to goto University of Connecticut.  They have a bunch of seniors this year and like a handful of juniors which means I could get the opportunity to play right away if not within 2 years, then I can train for the Olympic team and the US National team which I was recruited for before.  My biggest problem is my parents pulling me here and there, I just want to be me.  If it wasn't for sports honestly, I don't even think my parents would even notice me.  I know they would notice me since I'm tall, but as an only child lots of times I feel as though they just are ready to get rid of me and want me to get out of the house.  Which is cool, but between them fighting every night about where I should goto college and the coaches calling me from the east coast schools, I don't want to disappoint my parents.  Most likely, I'm just going to enroll at UCLA.  I know they will provide me with the opportunities that I want and they have the major I want as well.

 

Of course, the best thing about my situation is that I have my parents to thank for introducing me to sports and doing something with my height.  Otherwise, I  don't think I would fit in anywhere because not too many guys are going for amazon women.  The days that I get depressed about being too tall and listening to my parents fight all the time, I go out side and either play basketball or spike the ball against the wall at the park.  Without sports I wouldn't have any other way to relieve my frustration.  So maybe going to UCLA won't be all too bad.  Pretty sure that my parents will be able to come see me, but I really can't wait to get a change of scenery and  learn from the best volleyball team in the country.

 

My advice to kids is to follow your dream and do the best you can and after you're done doing the best, ask for help from your parents or coaches to help you do more.  Especially with your grades, because without having the grades its difficult for colleges to want to pursue you to play on their team or even offer you a scholarship.
