Volleying for experience
It was another great week for some volleyball at Wright State University. The competition between Wright State and Northern Kentucky was a battle back and forth right until the end. Northern Kentucky took the first two sets. Then Wright State came back and took the following two sets. They went into a tie-breaker set, where Northern Kentucky ended up victorious.
I was overseeing the scoreboard and ensuring everything was going well on that end. It was amazing to see the two teams and the adversity that the athletes had shown. At one point in the game, a player from Northern Kentucky had cut her hand, which forced a timeout. She ended up being okay and, there is still no telling how her hand had gotten cut. The same player later in the game had tweaked her knee and had to have the physical trainer help stretch her out on the sidelines before returning.
The adversity she showed reminded me of how going to school as an adult can sometimes be. Sometimes, trying to balance it all can be a challenge. It is not always easy to balance life with work and school. However, with the right amount of adversity and organization, anything is possible. The last few weeks volunteering at Wright State have been amazing. I am so thankful to the athletics department for allowing me to have this opportunity. On a separate note, I am looking forward to the next baseball season. I am hoping to land an internship with the Dayton Dragons. The opportunity with the dragons would show me everything from the front-of-the-house business to the duties dealing with fans and players. Thank you to anyone who took time to read this weeks blog on my volunteering opportunity. Remember to go out there and be bright spot in someone's life today. Until next time, stay safe and stay positive.
