It&#8217;s one of the more fun experiences I&#8217;ve had since arriving here, and that&#8217;s saying something. Before coming here, I detested any sport in any form, and the idea of partaking was the furthest thing from my mind at all times. I was convinced that, due to my lack of tact or ability, anyone that I played with would judge me. Full transparency, that fear still pops up every know and then.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>However, thanks to the people at MSA, it&#8217;s manageable. Everyone who plays is a genuinely kind person, and I&#8217;ve never felt judged, even when I messed up. In fact, certain people have even been kind enough to start teaching me how to play correctly, which is a surreal experience, to say the least.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of, the entire event of volleyball games will, I am confident, go with me into the rest of my life. They just have that air about them of nights I like to remember, and I vividly recall stopping several times to appreciate the fact that I was there, actually experiencing that moment. And that is a feeling almost better than scoring a point for your team \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to many more volleyball games, and a thank you to everyone who plays with me!\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p>Sincerely, someone who still needs to serve a little softer.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, I know it may come as a shock to all of you, and rightfully so.
