What everyone says about sports is true—it prepares you for real life. Volleyball is my sport. From it, I have learned leadership, teamwork, patience, and all the other cliché qualities we say are essential in a person. But I have also learned how to let things go, how to keep my mouth shut, and how to put up with people one wouldn’t necessarily want to work with—qualities necessary for survival in the business world, the so-called real world. They aren’t traits one would necessarily strive to attain, but vital attributes nonetheless. But I wonder why the life I’m living now not considered the real world. Is it fake? Does my current environment not exist? No, I think people just don’t want to admit that high school is the real world—it never really ends.
