Being a team
captain is definitely an honor. Knowing that my teammates can look to me to
lead and to be a positive person on and off the court means a lot to me. Being
a team captain, you are thrown into a role and have certain responsibilities
that you ultimately have to fulfill. It's not about having "power" or
"authority" over your teammates. Leading your team is about being that
person they can talk to or look to when they need something. Ultimately, as a
team captain, personally, I can also go to the girls on the team and ask them
for help or specific advice. Everyone on the team is wanted and needed in their
own special way and I try to make sure they know that in different ways.
Individually this
year I want to do better than what I did last year. It has been a huge
accomplishment to join the 1000 point club and it's been a wonderful journey so
far. Being better than what I was the day before is what I want. Knowing that I
improved from yesterday puts a smile on my face. It was also an honor to be chosen
a pre-season first team pick. But it's pre-season rankings; that doesn't mean
anything to me. I have to continue to stay humble and continue to work hard on
and off the court to better myself.

| My Team, My Family: it takes a lot of personalities to make up a family |
As a team, we have
set our standards high this year. Last year we made it to the semi-finals and
ended up losing that game, but it was a great accomplishment for us. However,
we know as a team that we have to work ten times harder than what we did last
year in order to get where we want to be at the end of this season. Making it
to the NEC tournament, NEC championship game and winning the championship is
our ultimate goal.
I plan to continue
to lead the team the same way I have been this season so far. I will continue
to support them and be that positive influence as well. I will continue to make
everyone around me better as they continue to help me improve everyday as
well.
