New challenges...

We often move forward in our lives, doing the same thing, searching for something, living each day, trying to get through the good times and work through the struggles in our world. I know I've done that, for years. I continued to keep dreaming along the way, but sometimes things would slow it all down, prevent me from following my plans, having dreams and living out my goals. Giving up has never been an option, sometimes it's slowed down the process, but most times it has driven me! I will survive, I will attain what I've been fighting for and living to achieve.

Life has brought me a new and exciting challenge...coaching. I am the new freshman volleyball coach at a local private high school. It has been amazing so far after just my first week with the girls. I anticipate a truly enriching and growing time for me. Still challenging because it's different, but rewarding, fun and enlightening. The kids are so into it, so pumped up to be playing this sport. Now, it's my job to hone their skills, teach them about team work and instill in them the importance of the sisterhood on and off the court. I know what playing sports did for me in my life and I know it's a huge and important aspect of all children's growth. I hope I can give these girls what they need from me and be there for them when they struggle and be the first one to high five them when they succeed. Wait, kids don't high five anymore...it's all about the fist bump!
