The student athlete Violet Mills is in the Spotlight this week.
Violet Mills is a junior with many dreams for her volleyball career.
“I love the feeling of pushing my limits because I enjoy challenging myself and seeing how far I can go in my favorite sport,” Mills said.
“This sport is all about growing,” Mills said. “I love the rush that knowing I’m improving gives me; it makes me realize I’m not settling for just okay, that makes the sport more exciting.”
Violet says her team is a second home.
“My teammates and I spend a lot of time together like supporting each other through wins and losses,” Mills said. “We build trust with each other and try our best to help one another improve.”
“When the game gets tough, we make sure to stick together and not turn on each other; they are people I can always count on,” Mills said.
A sport can make someone feel more alive.
“When I’m in the game, everything else kinda just fades away,” Mills said. “I’m just in the moment doing what I love.”
“This sport gives me energy and excitement, I hope everyone finds something that makes them feel like this,” Mills said.
