 I recently graduated from San Ramon Valley High School in Danville, Ca. I played 1 year of soccer, 4 years of Volleyball, and 4 years of Varsity Softball. I played DS and Lebero for 2 years on the varisty volleyball ("That was X-TREME!" :D) and catcher for 4 years on the softball team. Sports helped me to make some great friendships, learn to be a leader when it sometimes wasnt easy, become involved in my school, and make amazing memories of great come-backs, total dominations, and other unforgettable moments on and off the court/field. My favorite parts about high school were being spirited at the games- painting ourselves and cheering as loud as we could, meeting and building relationships with my best friends, making hilarious memories of all the random, but such fun, things my friends and I did, being involved on sports teams, Dressing up- for school events and sometimes just because, Leadership, Great teachers like Mr. Csider, Senora Herron, and Mr. Horvath, TAing with my best friend, making posters for all the games, growing out of my shell to become more energetic and confident -not caring what others thought of me, and the overall feeling of community as my classmates and I grew to become the SRV WOLFPACK!
 I am at APU because I love God. I initially started looking at APU because I made a personal decision that I wanted to go to a Christian school after going to a private school from K-8th and a public high school. Although I loved the environment of my high school, I knew that I would be able to better thrive in my relationship with God and life in general in a place where everyone else loves God as well. The next reason- Softball! After 14 years of hard work and practice, and months of communication with the coach, I got recruited to play on the APU softball team. I am very excited and anxious to move into the next collegiate step of my softball career and embrace the new challenges and experiences playing the game that I love.
I have always been told to DREAM BIG and to never let anyone tell me that I can't achieve the goals that I set for myself. Throughout life I have had my family and friends to aid and support me in all my decisions. But most importantly, it is necessary that I first turn to God to guide me through each of the choices I make in my life. God has a plan for me and I want to be ready for all of the blessings He has for my life! I DREAM OF making my own T-shirt company with my sisters, Traveling to Africa, Greece, and Armenia, Learning to speak Armenian, Making a positive impact on people around me, Being a "Stand Up Person in a Bow Down World", and Living life to my full potential, pleasing God and doing His will!
