A word from Jenitra Shields:
Greetings Everyone,
My name is Jenitra Shields; I am a recent graduate of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. I am currently looking for sponsors for the August Women’s Firesale & Exposure Camp which begins August 13,2010. My plan is to travel overseas and continue to improve my skills as a indoor volleyball player and hopefully come back to my home state of Georgia and try-out for the Women’s National Volleyball League (WNVL*) team in Atlanta- The Atlanta Glory. Eventually I wish to play for the Olympic volleyball Team. I know all of these goals will take dedication,training and commitment but they are also very attainable. I played three years of volleyball at a Division I University (University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff) ,and I really just would love the chance to continue playing overseas. Unfortunately my family nor me can fund this trip alone, So I am asking for any donations you may have to assist me in reaching my goals of becoming a professional volleyball player. If you can make any donations I would greatly appreciated it because you helping me get closer to my dream. If you can or you cannot I will ask that you just pray for me getting all of my goals accomplished. Thanks for all of your prayers and support and Have a Wonderful Day :-)
For my heart to yours,
Jenitra ♥
