Emmaline Leatherman
5'11, Middle Hitter
Shawe Memorial High School, Coach Jeff Lawson
Parents: Gabriele Leatherman
Favorite Quote: Somebody gives you an opportunity, say yes to it. So what if you fail? You won’t know if you fail or succeed unless you try.” —Ann Meyers
Hobbies: Drawing, shopping, volleyball, track (high jump), hanging out with friends, traveling, and hiking.
Future Plans: Play volleyball at Trine University
Hero: My hero would have to be my mom. I had never realized how much of a hero she was until I grew up. My parents got divorced when I was young and ever since then, she had to support and raise five kids all by herself. She has sacrificed so much to make us happy in any way, shape, or form. She raised us all to be intelligent, hardworking, and most of all, made us all grow up to be the best versions of ourselves that we could possibly be. I don't know how she did it all by herself.
Favorite HS Volleyball Memory: When we won this year's ORVC title. This is the first time in our school's history to ever win an ORVC title for volleyball. I still can remember the cheering and all the emotions right after we beat the leading team.

Hero: My hero is my mom. She works so hard and has taken care of my brother and I all these years. She’s never missed a game or event of ours. She went to nursing school while my brother and I were 3 and 5. She even went back to school to earn her Masters Degree while we were in middle and high school. She is who taught me to work hard for what you want! Favorite HS Volleyball Memory: Making it to state my senior year!

She always inspires me to be the best I can be and to not let anyone ever work harder then me.

Hobbies: Playing piano, longboarding, baking, writing/journaling, weight lifting, running, and listening to music

Hero: My hero is my mom. She is the most supportive person in my life. She pushes me to be the best possible version of myself. She pushes me when I need it the most, and as much as I may dislike it I know she always has my best interest at heart. She is such a hard-working person and sacrifices so much that I hope one day I can make her proud. I want to be the best possible version of myself possible to be able to show her dedication wasn't for nothing.
Favorite HS Volleyball Memory: During my sophomore year, we made it to the regional championship but unfortunately had three players unable to play because of quarantine. When we drove to the match, parents, fans, and the three players were at the fire station cheering us on from their cars. Their support meant so much to us and allowed us to get ready to play.
