Dear Volleyball,

It's hard to believe that the time has finally come to say goodbye. Thank you for being the source of so much joy in my life over the past 13 years. I'm deeply grateful for all the lessons you've taught me, and the countless blessings you've brought. You made the court feel like home, and my teammates and coaches became my second family.

You've shown me what it means to show up every day and give everything I have. You also taught me how to dream big and relentlessly pursue those dreams. Along with these lessons, you've given me some of the most incredible people, experiences, and memories - things I could never have imagined without you.

Closing this chapter with you was one of the most bittersweet moments of my life. Saying goodbye will never be easy, but the teammates who played alongside me, the coaches who supported me, and the program that always had my back made this all possible. I'm not just thankful, I'm truly blessed. You will always be a part of me and who I've become.

Love, Jess Freehill #3
