This post is about someone whom I have come to admire for her strength and stubborn will in the face of adversity. She is the player that will simply "do it" when no one else on the team can step up and get that stop or score that point. She is a true leader and will be missed next year not only for the physical plays she makes every match but especially for the stability and leadership she brings to her team.
Without further delay, here's a little glimpse into Samantha St. Germain...
PERSONAL AND TEAM GOALS: personal goals: finish off my senior year strong, get into a good graduate school and start working toward a career in public administration, helping inner city youth succeed! team goals: make it to the NEAC championships, trust one another, become a postitive role model for other teams at CSE
BEST MOMENT OF COLLEGIATE VOLLEYBALL CAREER THUS FAR: freshman year, playing with Brittney Newberry, Isabel Machuca and Irena Moore. They showed me how to keep my heart and head in the game to become the player I am today
THOUGHTS ON TEAM/SEASON THIS YEAR: it's not where I'd like us to be, but it has been a growing and learning experience with all the new additions this year. The freshman have improved tremendously and definitely earned their spots on the team. I'll be back in 3 years to see the monsters they'll transform into!HOW DID YOU GET INTO VOLLEYBALL: family members in Haiti played and I loved watching them. My cousins started training me in 8th grade and I tried out during my freshman year in high school; I've been playing the setter position ever since.HOBBIES: shopping, writing, reading poetry, volleyballFAVORITE MOVIE: Coming to AmericaFAVORITE TV SHOW: Everybody Hates ChrisFAVORITE MUSIC/SONG: R&B and gospel
FAVORITE ATHLETE: nonePLANS AFTER YOU GRADUATE: pursue a Masters in Public AdministrationWHAT YOU ENVISION YOUR LIFE TO BE IN 10 YEARS: married with children, a working woman and hopefully opening my own non-profit organization for young women in the inner city. i dont have a name for it just yet but i want it to be a safe haven that encourages them to become future athletes and professionals through mentorship programs, recreational activites, supplemental educational resources for music, poetry and public speaking (and so much more)
