Meet
Marilyn
Nicknames: Goone, Mare Mare Zao,

Why I play volleyball: I play for the sheer love of the
game, the competition of each point, and the cohesive nature
of the team. I play because each day I practice puts me
closer and closer to my goals and dreams. The adrenaline
high I get when I play volleyball is unlike any other, and I
thrive off it. I love to compete and every time I step on to
the court, I want to win.
My five best volleyball attributes: Competitiveness,
dedication, passion, coachability, and work ethic
When I leave college, I want to: go to work doing something
I love and be really successful at it.
My sports hero's are: Jackie Robinson and Tiger Woods
I collect: memories and roses
In my off-time, I'm most likely to be found: reading a good
book.
Something people would be surprised to know about me:
nothing… everything I do, people would expect something like
that from me.
I'm most thankful for: the everyday blessings I am given and
each day that I wake up in the morning with a smile on my
face.
Best book I have ever read: HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite food: Thanksgiving dinner…
Least favorite food: Brussel Sprouts
My favorite movies: October Sky, Remember the Titans,
Miracle
My favorite TV show: Gossip Girl and Heroes
My favorite music: Alternative and Classic Rock
My parents were right when they told me: Anything that was
of major importance and I didn't believe them.
My favorite quotes: "Reach down your hand in your pocket,
pull out some hope for me." -Matchbox Twenty, "Go
confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life
you've imagined." -Henry David Thoreau
