All Good Things Come To An End

I sat on the edge of a busy downtown Chicago street this afternoon as a very important chapter of my life came to a close.  

Today marked the end of my competitive volleyball career; a career that began my freshman year of high school because I was cut from the baseball team.  What a career it was.

I'm going to keep this post brief and speak specifically about my career at Siena Heights.  Coach Watkins gave me an opportunity that few other coaches would have and I am so glad he did.  It has been a pleasure to play for him the past four years and I've really enjoyed my time as a member of his teams.

As for my teammate, you've all been great.  The past three years were pretty awesome but I'd say that this season has been by far the best.  This year I made sure I made an effort to really get to know everyone on the team.  Most people "know" their teammates but I wanted to KNOW my teammates like they were my brothers, and the were.

Years down the road I'll look back at this year and have so many awesome memories even though the wins and losses didn't end up how we wanted them to.

I took time to myself in the locker room after we lost in the first round of the MAMVIC East conference tournament today to reflect on the past eight years.  There is nothing that can be done to change what happened and my career is over.  Now it's time to continue on my journey to become a physical therapist
