About LaChrista Williams

Hi, my name is LaChrista Williams. I am a senior at Westside High School in Anderson, South Carolina. I started playing volleyball at the recreation level in fifth and sixth grade and ever since then I started developing my passion for volleyball. I was a Junior Varsity starter in ninth grade, and then in tenth grade I advanced to a starter on Varsity. I know that it is important for me to play sports at the college level so I can become an even better athlete by accepting a new challenge. One of my goals is to play volleyball in college. Academics play a major role in my plans to play college sports. I have to maintain passing grades in order to be an academic athlete. Academics are actually the key to college. Without academics, it is almost not possible to go to college. I plan to major in Early Childhood and Secondary Education. I plan to major in this area because I love working with children and I want to have a good impact on their lives. It is important for me to earn a college degree so I can pursue my career in education. One of the most important lessons that playing sports have taught me is to always encourage your teammates and most importantly, yourself. No matter how down you may be or the score might be, positivity can do a great deal in uplifting someone’s spirit. Another lesson that playing sports have taught me is to also have a positive attitude on and off the court. When I am on the court I have my priorities set straight. Some of my priorities are to stay focused on the court, have a positive attitude, and give it my all. Practice is such an important part of athletics because every practice is a step towards improvement. The harder I practice, the harder I play on the court. My family has a big influence on my athletics and achievements. They always support me no matter what. Whether I play home games or away games most of the time they are always there in the bleachers cheering me on. That is why I want to thank my parents, and most importantly God, for everything that they have done for me.
