College?

Our daughter will be a senior in high school this year.  She is a very good athlete and until this summer, her favorite sport was basketball.  That all changed when she went to her team volleyball

camp at NMU. 

 

You see, Terra is a good athlete but she is tiny.  We knew she would do well in sports in high school, but didn't think too much about a college athletic career.

I guess I should have had more faith because while at that team camp the NMU volleyball coach spoke with her and her coach.  He asked if she would come back for another camp the next weekend.  We didn't plan on this and decided maybe we wouldn't send her.  Her volleyball coach found my husband and told him if there was any way we could get her to that camp it would be very beneficial as the coach had Terra high on his recruit list.

After hearing that, we made hotel reservations and planned to get her to the camp.  We took along our grandson so he could play in the pool too.  (Pictures to follow in another post.)

Terra thought the camp went well and she liked all of the current players that were helping and she also liked the two recruits. 

On Monday, she called me at work to tell me that the coach called her and spoke with her about the camp and what she thought about it.  He also asked her if she was interested in attending NMU.  After they spoke a bit more, he told her that he would like to have her play for him in 2013!

Yippee!!  We'll be going to Northern to watch the girls play this fall and in the spring we'll go down and see what they offer for a scholarship.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Wow! I can't believe my baby girl will be going off to college in about a year.  It's a sad but happy time.
