Q&A With Aryana Girvan
D9and10Sports: How did you first get involved in sports and did you like it?
A: I first started out in sports when I was 7 as a gymnast and I did that until I was 11 then I made my way into basketball and volleyball when I was 12. I fell in love with volleyball the moment I stepped on the court and I haven’t left it since.
D9and10Sports: Who has been your biggest influence in life and why?
A: My biggest influence in life has definitely been my mom, she’s always pushed me to do my best in everything and she’s always given me the best guidance.

D9and10Sports: If there was one period in history you could go back to, what would it be and why?
