From Awards Night
"I would not have thought it was possible for me to play one more year at De Anza while attending San Jose State; if it weren't for the constant help and support from Dawnis, as well as Louise and Jovanah for helping me organize classes and schedules ... Thank you to all De Anza staff for making this possible - and especially the volleyball team, coaches, and my family for all the support."
