Dear Volleyball,

I can't believe the time has finally come to say goodbye. When I look back, I see countless memories—both the good and the bad—and I am forever grateful for every single one of them. Throughout all the years of growing up, so many things changed, yet one constant always remained: you.

Thank you for the opportunities you gave me and the lessons you taught me—self-discipline, time management, resilience, and how to face adversity head-on. I am endlessly thankful for the people you brought into my life. Teammates and coaches became family, and those relationships will stay with me forever.

Volleyball was my safe space—a place where I could let go of everything else life threw my way. I've always said volleyball is my passion, and it always will be. While this chapter is ending, I am excited for what lies ahead and for continuing to grow and love this way of life, even without you by my side.
