Three people who inspire me are Kerri Walsh Jennings, Mary Witt, and my mom Holli Snyder.  None of them are completely the same but they all have something to do with each other: Children and Passion.  I chose Kerri Walsh because she is an amazing volleyball player.  I love the game, especially beach.  Kerri Walsh idolized Misty May Treanor and then won Olympic Gold as her partner.  Also, she has two kids and is married to another volleyball player.  In a way it seems so stressful to not only have to raise two young children but to have to balance working out, training and doing summer camps as a job as well. To me Mary Witt is inspiring because she lost her leg to a battle in cancer and still manages to coach soccer, ski and enjoy life.  Mary Witt has children of her own and that is one of the reasons she is so involved in the community. But despite everything she has gone through she still manages I be so happy anytime you see her. For example, yesterday, at physical therapy, she had tape on her wrist.  I asked her what had happened and she said the sometimes her wrist just hurt.  Then she said “I can afford to lose my leg, but my hands are part of my job and what I love to do.”
My mom is another inspiration in my life. In 2010 my mom fought a hard battle with Breast Cancer. She recovered very well and thanks to the Shaw Regional Cancer center is continuing to feel better every day. She works everyday, deals with irritating people, and some how manages to raise a crazy volleyball player going half way around the world and a second daughter who's struggling with the things growing up entails.

Roar. If I could be an animal I would most definitely be a tiger. To me tigers are graceful, and beautiful. To any person they are fierce and strong. That's what I want to be. Strong yet beautiful. Fierce but Graceful. And anyone can admit an animal that can rip it's own food to pieces is probably one of the coolest things ever!!
