2015 Highlights #2Personal Statement
My name is MOEA KEKAUOHA and I was born and raised in Hawaii. I am a SENIOR and my high school team won our league championship, which hasn't been done since 2001, and battled after being down 0-2 in the state championship game to lose a thrilling 5 set match. We played our hearts out and left it all on the court and I was fortunate to be selected to the All-Tournament Team. I also got selected to the league's first team all-stars (http://www.hawaiiprepworld.com/featured/choy-named-ilh-volleyball-player-of-the-year) as well as the All-State Fab 15 (I was ranked #3 out of 15). While it's an honor to receive recognition, I know I couldn't have done it without great coaching and supportive teammates.
I'd love the chance to play competitive volleyball in college. I've been playing since I was 7 years old and I'm passionate about it. I like to compete at a high level and be challenged. I play to win, I work hard and I push my teammates so we are all constantly improving. I think I'm a dynamic player with solid all-around skills and I play with a big heart.
I've been a libero for my high school team from freshman - junior year but this year Coach moved me to OH and I play six full rotations. In club, I'm an OH and typically play both front and back row. I am open to playing either position in college and am keeping all my options open. It's important to me and my family to find a college campus that is well suited for me and I think I would thrive on a smaller campus in an urban or suburban area.
When I'm not in the gym, I like to go to the beach to play beach volleyball, body surf and get pounded by waves. I like to sing and was in my school's regular choir for 3 years and select choir for 2 years. I also like to listen to different types of music. I'm the second oldest of 4 children, and I have 1 older sister as well as a younger sister and younger brother.
Don't be misled by my height or lack of it. I have hops, quick feet and very good ball control.
Thank you for visiting my profile.
