Personal Statement

I’m Matthew Melendez, and I’ve been playing volleyball since 7th grade. What started as a fun after-school activity quickly became a lifeline for me. During challenging times, whether it was school stress or personal struggles, volleyball was my escape and my passion. The sport taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Every practice pushed me to be better, and every match taught me resilience. I’ve forged incredible friendships with my teammates, and together we've celebrated victories and learned from losses. As a sophomore, I’ve come to realize that volleyball isn’t just a game for me; it’s a part of my identity. I graduate in 2027, and I’m determined to bring my love for the game to the collegiate level, where I can continue to grow both as an athlete and a person.
